Breaking Ground On A Better Tomorrow

LNWA was established as a construction company in 1949. Our founder, Leon, gained experience by working in the field alongside his uncle before charting his own course. Among our earliest ventures in construction was Dunleith, a community south of Wilmington, DE that became one of the first racially integrated suburban developments in the region. 

Our team of construction experts assess projects by budgets met and schedules kept, however, results are truly measured by the trust established in delivering quality homes for our customers and residents.

Case Studies

Ocean Oaks at Jekyll Island

Located on the Golden Isles of Georgia, Ocean Oaks is the first new construction, single-family community built on Jekyll Island in 50 years. LNWA and CHG, two firms with extensive local experience, partnered in 2018 to build a new community comprised of 33 single-family homes, and 6 duplex units. Ocean Oaks features 14 different styles of homes, creating a unique semi-custom experience for homeowners. A private community boardwalk links the residential area to a century old heritage oak grove which meanders east to the Atlantic Ocean.  

LNWA leveraged its rich history in homebuilding to balance the built and natural environments at Ocean Oaks creating exceptional curb appeal and comfort. The community is a source of pride for our homeowners as much as it is for our development team.  

Schumaker Place

Schumaker Place, located in Salisbury, Maryland, is a 96-unit tax credit financed community originally developed by LNWA in 1992.  In 2019, seeing an opportunity to rehabilitate an important community asset while extending resident affordability, LNWA began an extensive $14M rehabilitation acting as developer, general contractor, and management agent.  

The renovations to Schumaker Place are comprehensive and include new facades, energy efficient HVAC, new kitchens and bathrooms, appliances, flooring, roofs and windows.  The project was financed with 2019 volume cap and 4% Low-Income Housing Tax Credits allocated by the Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD) with funding from the Rental Housing Works and EmPOWER loan programs administered by the Maryland Community Development Administration (CDA). LNWA worked alongside long-term partner, Boston Financial Investment Management, on equity syndication.
