North America Development isn't the fix-a-leaky-faucet kind of contractor — it's a Somerville-based real estate developer and general contractor that buys, rehabs, and builds homes across Greater Boston, then sells or partners with the people who take them on. Jason and Hudson Santana say they started the company in 2012, combining Jason's background building luxury homes in Florida since 2006 with Hudson's real estate work since 2009; Maureen McGovern later joined as a partner. Its Massachusetts Home Improvement Contractor license is active, and Better Business Bureau filings put the business's start at July 2012 with an A+ rating on file. What people who've actually bought from or hired them keep coming back to is the finished product. A Cape Cod buyer in June pointed to the construction quality and the finishing touches on a quiet-but-convenient property; another buyer that same week described the workmanship and layout of a home the company remodeled. A real estate agent who's dealt with them across a decade of closings says they stand behind their name and move fast if a problem surfaces after a sale — notable coming from someone on the outside of the transaction, not the buyer. And a client who closed on a condo more than 14 years ago says the company still answers the phone today, having offered early on to attend every pre-purchase inspection so nothing got missed. The catch is volume: this is a five-star history built on 7 Google ratings, not hundreds. North America Development also hasn't sought formal BBB accreditation, even though the Bureau still grades it A+. And it's less a renovate-your-existing-house contractor than a builder and developer — the reviews describe buying a finished property from them or commissioning new construction, like the small mixed-use building with an office unit and two residential units one client had them put up around Cambridge and Somerville. For someone eyeing one of their developments or a ground-up build rather than a kitchen refresh, an active license, an A+ BBB file, a decade-plus of operating history, and a short but consistently positive review trail make a reasonable starting point — just confirm which chamber listing and which current project is theirs, since the Medford and Somerville chamber directories don't quite agree.

    We had a great experience with this home in Cape Cod. The construction quality really stood out, and the finishing touches gave it a clean, well-thought-out feel. The location is also a huge plus—quiet, but still close to everything. North American Development, LLC was very professional throughout, and Hudson Santana was especially helpful. He was quick to respond and made the whole process easy. Overall, a well-built home in a great spot, backed by a team that’s easy to work with.

    I recently stayed at a home remodeled by North American Development LLC, and I was extremely impressed. The quality of the workmanship, attention to detail, and beautiful finishes throughout the property were outstanding. Every room felt thoughtfully designed, and the layout flowed perfectly, creating a comfortable and inviting atmosphere. Our experience exceeded expectations. The home was not only beautiful but also functional and ideal for a large family or group gathering. It's clear that North American Development LLC takes great pride in their work and delivers exceptional results. I would highly recommend North American Development LLC to anyone looking for a company that can transform a property into something truly special. Outstanding work and an unforgettable stay! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

    I’ve personally had the privilege of crossing paths professionally with North America Development multiple times over the past decade and one thing that remains true is their commitment to providing an amazing product to buyers, they stand behind their name / work and if a problem does come up they are quick to act and solution driven. As a Real Estate Agent, I feel a sense of security when my clients are purchasing a property developed by them as I know they do not disappear as soon as the sale is finalized, and that cannot be said for all.

    I bought my first condo over 14 years ago from this developer. They’re amazing. I knew from the get go that they stand behind their products/projects when they offered to attend all inspections prior to purchase in case the inspector recommended we fix anything. I’ve also been in touch with them for after all these years and they’ve never let me down in quality or referrals as I have also gone into development myself . They do quality and conscientious work.

    I was looking for a construction company to assist me with my project—a small building with one office unit and two residential units in Cambridge, MA. While driving through the streets of Cambridge and Somerville, I began to notice several new residential and commercial developments with a modern, bold design. Gradually, I realized that the same company was behind many of these projects: North America Development. I then decided to contact the company to assist me with my project. From the very beginning, I was treated with the utmost professionalism—from the company owner to the engineers, architects, and even the construction manager. Everything was explained to me clearly and transparently: the costs involved, the permits required by the city, job-site safety, and the consideration given to neighboring properties, always with the goal of minimizing the impact of the construction. The project is now nearing completion, and I would like to express my complete satisfaction with both the quality of the work performed and the transparency demonstrated at every stage of the project. From the start, I have had access to an online platform where I can track all phases of the construction, including costs, materials used, and overall progress. I am regularly contacted by the architect, who presents material options while consistently seeking to reduce costs without compromising the project’s safety, aesthetics, or durability. Given the quality of the construction and the property’s excellent location, I am confident that I will see a return on my investment in a very short time, while owning a building that will stand for many years to come. My sincere thanks to Mr. Jason Santana and the entire team at North America Development.
