Who We Are

Founded in Woodstock, New York, HRH Development brings a more disciplined, integrated approach to custom homebuilding in the Hudson Valley and Catskills.

Interior of a completed HRH home

Founded in the Valley. Built for the Valley.

We deliver the level of coordination, accountability and execution typically reserved for larger markets, while keeping the local knowledge this region’s land and regulations demand.

Over the past six years we have completed a growing portfolio of projects across Ulster and Columbia Counties. We remain a deliberately scaled, principal-led firm: limiting the number of projects we take on means every client gets direct, hands-on involvement from initial evaluation through completion.

How We Work

Zak Gumpel

With over 15 years of combined experience in residential brokerage and construction, Zak founded HRH Development to bridge the gap between site identification, design, construction and budget transparency, bringing a fully integrated, end to end approach to custom homebuilding. He is also a licensed real estate broker, giving clients a strategic advantage in both acquisition and execution.

Having relocated from New York City to the Hudson Valley, Zak embraces a more natural, health conscious lifestyle and carries that perspective into his work, focusing on homes that are thoughtfully sited, connected to their surroundings and designed to support a more balanced way of living.
