ABOUT:
North Star Development creates homes that make the building process enjoyable and the ownership experience truly cherished. Beginning with an inspired design, each home becomes a symphony of space, form, detail, and finish—crafted to be second to none. This vision is executed by seasoned project managers who ensure exceptional value, consistency, and quality from start to finish. You can count on us.
For Chad Riley, Partner at North Star Development, homebuilding is more than a profession—it’s a calling. With years of hands-on experience in concrete, framing, carpentry, HVAC, and electrical, Chad has developed a rare, comprehensive understanding of the construction process. Teaming up with his father, Mark Riley—whose 25+ years of leadership in the industry bring seasoned insight and vision—they founded North Star Development to produce extraordinary results.
At North Star, we believe that great homes are built on trust, precision, and a deep respect for our clients’ aspirations. Every step is guided by an expert team devoted to excellence—from the first sketch to the final walkthrough. With a passion for detail and a commitment to a seamless experience, we’re proud to offer something both fresh and refined to the Des Moines market.
If our showcase home on Lot 11 sparks your imagination, we’d be honored to help turn your vision into reality.

ABOUT THE HOME:
This isn’t just a house—it’s a bold expression of what residential design can become.

A hearth room that balances grandeur and comfort—perfectly suited for both large gatherings and peaceful evenings. An innovative Resource Area connected to the main living space, designed for flexible modern living—ideal for creative projects, remote work, or screen sharing to the oversized TV. Once you experience this concept, you’ll wonder how you ever lived without it. Two upper-level bedroom suites featuring balcony-style overlooks and clerestory windows that bathe the home in natural light. Built-in smart tech and future-ready systems, seamlessly integrated to evolve with your lifestyle. An outdoor sanctuary, featuring a pool, food prep station, and rich landscaping—all set beneath a solar-ready roof designed for long-term sustainability.
