Community Developer Solutions
About CDS

A Wilmington story of construction with conscience.

Community Developer Solutions was founded to confront a hard truth: too many Wilmington blocks have been left behind. We build, rehab, and revitalize — but the deeper work is restoring the dignity of the places people call home.

Leadership

Sultan Taskin, Founder

Sultan founded Community Developer Solutions to help address the housing challenges and neighborhood revitalization needs across Wilmington and the surrounding region. The work began on a single block — and grew into a mission.

Today CDS operates as a woman and minority-owned general contractor and developer delivering everything from single-property rehabs to affordable housing programs for nonprofit, investor, and government partners.

What hasn't changed: every contract is treated as a commitment to the families, workers, and neighbors who depend on the outcome.
