Building Portland, With Integrity at the Core

DBS Group is a Portland-based real estate development company committed to increasing the region’s housing supply and creating thoughtful, long-lasting places for people to call home. We believe that our focus on middle housing development (duplexes, triplexes, fourplexes, and cottage clusters) is essential for Portland’s future: it supports affordability, expands options for families and individuals, and strengthens neighborhoods with sustainable, human-scale growth.

With more than 100 years of combined experience in development and construction, our team has helped build over 1,000 homes and apartment units across Oregon. As a family-owned company, we take pride in delivering exceptional craftsmanship while staying grounded in our core value: integrity in everything we do.

What “Building With Integrity” Means to Us

For us, integrity is more than a value, it’s the way we operate.

• Community comes first. We believe our success depends on strengthening the communities we build in.

• We honor what already exists. Whenever possible, we preserve mature trees, work around natural features, and retain existing homes with strong structural or historical value.

• We build for today and tomorrow. Our projects balance beauty, functionality, and environmental responsibility, ensuring long-term value for homeowners, renters, and neighborhoods.

• We listen. Respect, collaboration, and transparency guide our interactions with neighbors, partners, and future residents.

• We leave things better than we found them. Every project is an opportunity to improve the landscape, create opportunity, and care for the people who will call these spaces home.
