ABOUT THE ATELIER
A New York sensibility, built by hand in South Tampa.
Landis Atelier was founded to build the kind of homes Landis spent years selling in Manhattan, but rarely found anywhere else: proportioned with care, finished in real materials, and quality enough to live in for generations.
We're bringing character back to development.
FOUNDER
Landis Hosterman
Landis grew up living in half-finished houses. Her family renovated the homes they lived in, and their frequent pastime was driving through neighborhoods, finding viable investment homes and imagining how they'd make each one better.
She went on to spend twelve years in New York luxury real estate, joining Compass as one of its first twenty agents and ranking in the top 1.5% of agents nationally by RealTrends. Much of that career was spent in new development, where she was personally mentored by Harry Macklowe, the developer behind 432 Park Avenue and One Wall Street. A decade of walking buyers through purchasing the city's finest residences taught her exactly what makes a house worth a premium price, and what doesn't.
She founded Landis Atelier to build those worthwhile homes herself. She leads design and acts as general contractor on every project, carrying each house from the first sketch to the final coat of plaster. Her Atelier is starting with single family homes, and has multi-family, mixed-used developments — inspired by her neighborhood, the West Village — in planning.
