JDL Development is one of Chicago's preeminent developers of high-end residential properties. The company was founded in 1994 by president James Letchinger with a vision of redefining a homeowner's experience in purchasing a new residence. Jim felt that the relationship homebuyers had with their developers was too often wrought with stress and frustration: "buying a home is the most important purchase someone will ever make -- I want it to be a fun, enjoyable experience, from start to finish." As a result, customer satisfaction and happiness is their number one priority.
