Welcome to NJ North

Built for life.
Made to feel
like home.

Quiet mornings. A full table. Room for whatever comes next. We believe a beautiful home should make everyday life feel that much better.

Our story

Experience built
one home at a time.

More than 100 homes. Each one the beginning of someone’s next chapter.

Led by Phillip Michael, NJ North Development brings 17 years of building experience and more than 100 homes built to residential development in Bergen County, New Jersey.

We specialize exclusively in spec homes. We acquire the property, develop the vision, and build each residence to offer for sale. Every home is an NJ North development, thoughtfully planned from the ground up.

For you, that means a thoughtfully designed home to make your own. Explore our past work, ask about our homes for sale, and imagine where your next chapter could begin.

Our approach to home

Beautiful spaces.
Everyday possibilities.

01 / A welcoming first impression

Feel at home.

We look for the balance between a home that catches your eye and one you can picture yourself living in.

02 / Thoughtful details

Enjoy the everyday.

Natural light, warm materials, and spaces that flow together shape how a home feels long after the first visit.

03 / Your next chapter

Picture the possibilities.

A place to gather. A little more room. A neighborhood you love. Your priorities are a good place to start.
