Donald Acevedo, Owner
Donald Acevedo began his career in the real estate development business in 1970 in the West Palm Beach, Florida area. His venture into the industry began by becoming an apprentice of the Carpenters’ Union Local 1927 in Delray Beach, Florida. Becoming a foreman for the sub-trades Mr. Acevedo knew he had found his calling in life.
In 1972 Mr. Acevedo started his first construction company, and worked as the managing member of the business. His company, Donald Acevedo Builders, took on numerous types of construction projects including high-end single/multi family (new construction and up-fitting/remodeling), multi-family apartment complexes, entertainment facilities, convenient stores, hotel, and restaurants. Throughout these ventures Don held the responsibility of negotiating land acquisitions, permitting, market studies, project managing, and sales.
During the early 80’s Don started a family that brought him to the upstate of South Carolina and he brought with him the successes of his company. Don began going after the same genre of business that made him successful in Florida. Early during his transition Don worked as a Project Manager for the Wendy’s Corp. While working with Wendy’s Corp. Don managed the construction of numerous restaurant facilities over five states; SC, NC, GA, LA, and TN.
This opportunity led Don into a Project Manager position for a local Architect in Anderson. Here Don’s responsibilities were to act as a PM for the firm’s high-end residential clients as well as a PM for the firm’s nationwide restaurant chain client, Ryan’s Steakhouse. Don’s responsibilities were to work closely with the customer during pre-construction conceptual design, permitting, procurement, construction, close-out, and closing.
After many successful years in the construction and development business Don focused his efforts in new direction. He began a career in Education. In May of 1988 Don received an Associates Degree in Education from Anderson College. After receiving Dean’s List credentials as well as a 4.0 GPA, Don furthered his education at Clemson University. In May of 1992 Don received a bachelor’s degree in Education, once again receiving Dean’s List accreditations, and a 4.0 GPA. Don also received his Masters Degree in Vocational Training from Clemson University. Don has now been instructing the Construction Technology Program for the Hanna Westside Extension campus for over 16 years.
Outside of his teaching career Don has continued to develop his construction and development business throughout the Upstate. Over the past 20 years Don has been involved with numerous projects that have furthered his portfolio of accomplishments. Don currently manages multiple companies that deal primarily in the real estate development sector; transactions mainly in South Carolinawhile having a few vested interests in Puerto Rico.
Locally, Don’s most recent projects are as follows: Fiesta, a Mexican Restaurant (Complete); Casa Del Rio, a 106 unit single family development (complete); Welcome Heights, a 42 unit single family development (complete); Clemson Crossing, a 21 unit single family development (65% built-out); Water’s View, a 21 unit high end multi-family development (30% built-out); Arden Chase, completed development build-out of high end single family residences; Brookstone (High-end golf course community), negotiated final phase purchase of remaining development inventory with intentions of completing all residential construction (25% built-out); Civic Center Boulevard, currently negotiating conceptual development design for a hotel facility; Michelin Boulevard, currently in conceptual design of multi-use/purpose commercial/residential center/assisted living.
