Natelli Communities

Natelli Communities is headed by Tom Natelli and his sons Michael and Tom Jr. Together, they have built Natelli Communities into one of the most respected and accomplished privately held real estate development concerns in the nation. A third generation company, Natelli Communities is guided by the principles of the late Anthony M Natelli, father and grandfather, who is remembered as one of the Washington area’s prominent real estate developers until his passing in 2004.

By focusing on excellence in all aspects of design, development, construction and managerial processes, the company has consistently developed the best-selling master planned communities in their operating markets. Thoughtful Planning, Timeless Design, and Attention to Detail are the hallmarks of their award winning reputation. The company is well versed in local and regional planning, regulatory, market, environmental and development matters, and principally acquires unimproved, un-entitled property in the Mid-Atlantic and Southeast region for long-term development.

Natelli Communities develops a vision for each property, seeks the input of local communities and other interested parties, undertakes the rezoning and entitlement processes and physically develops the properties into finished communities. Residential, retail and office components are sold to national and regional builders under coordinated programs that govern the type, style and level of finish of each of the products constructed by third parties. Natelli builds some of the products through its affiliates, Main Street Homes, Main Street Commercial and Natelli Homes.

Natelli Communities has developed over 25,000 homesites and several million square feet of office and retail space. Communities range in size from several hundred to several thousand units. The company has received dozens of local and national awards including the “Award for Excellence” for Avenel in 1996 for best planned community in the nation by the Urban Land Institute, and “Best Community in the Nation” by the National Association of Homebuilders for Bay Forest in 2018 as well as Washington Metro Environmental Developer of the Year and Suburban Maryland Builder of the Year.
