What We Do NACO is a horizontal real estate developer that creates intelligent growth that makes a lasting, positive impact on communities and businesses that call them home.

We approach real estate development as community building. This includes a strong focus on public-private partnerships with elected leaders and staff, a holistic approach to economic development that attracts jobs and expands the tax base, and rigorous planning around: Land use, infrastructure, architectural and landscape design standards, transportation networks, pedestrian leisure trails, and connectivity to neighborhoods and amenities.

For three decades, NACO focused exclusively on master planning and developing the City of New Albany, now recognized as America’s #1 suburb. While New Albany remains at the core of our identity and business, NACO has taken its development program to new markets in Ohio.
