With over 1,000 homes built across 16-plus East County subdivisions since 1984, Priest Development Corporation in Santee ranks among the most prolific residential builders in the San Diego region. The developer's ground-up subdivision work requires site grading, utility trenching, and finished landscaping coordinated through firms such as ARC Design Landscape on Wheatlands Avenue for common-area planting and hardscape installation. Operating from 240 Riverview Parkway near the San Diego River corridor, the company manages the full development cycle from land acquisition and entitlement through vertical construction and final occupancy. Current and recent East County projects integrate rooftop solar arrays into new-build specifications under Title 24 requirements, with installation coordinated through partners including Jamar Power Systems on Prospect Avenue. Highest-density projects include multi-lot planned-unit developments requiring engineered pad elevations, retaining walls, and storm-water detention basins sized to San Diego County BMP Design Manual standards.
