North America Development is a Somerville-based residential real estate developer and general contractor. The company says it traces to 2012, when brothers Jason Santana (a general contractor who had been building luxury homes in Florida since 2006) and Hudson Santana (in real estate since 2009) combined their paths, later joined by design partner Maureen McGovern; it works with sellers, investors and buyers rehabbing and building homes across Somerville, Cambridge, Arlington, Medford and Hingham. Recent reviews from June 2026 describe finished properties that stood out for construction quality and thoughtful, well-designed finishes — one review described a completed home in Cape Cod, another a remodeled property with what the reviewer called outstanding attention to detail throughout. Buyers also describe a company that stays involved after the sale: in a January 2026 review, someone who bought a condo from the company more than 14 years earlier said it still offered to attend pre-purchase inspections and has stood behind its projects and referrals ever since. A February 2026 review from a Realtor described a decade of working with the company across multiple client transactions, calling them quick to act and solution-driven when issues come up. In a late-January 2026 review, a buyer researching a small mixed-use building in Cambridge said noticing several of the company's projects around Cambridge and Somerville led them to reach out directly, and found the team professional from the owners through the engineers. The company holds an active Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration, carries an A+ BBB rating, and belongs to both the Somerville and Medford chambers of commerce. A good fit for a buyer considering one of the company's built or rehabbed properties, or a homeowner looking for a general contractor with a real-estate development background; worth confirming which side of the business — development or direct contracting — fits your project before reaching out.
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.
