F&V has experienced demolition management staff to help transform blighted, abandoned, and obsolete buildings into productive community assets. Often, these deteriorated buildings are sources of lost property tax revenue, vandalism, safety concerns, and just plain eyesores.

Our approach to these transformations is through detailed planning and management.
