History
Deacon Development began in 2001 when Steve Deacon and Pete Snook began work on their first project, Corvallis Station, a mixed-use development in Corvallis, Oregon. The project faced many challenges and was nearly the first and last project developed by the new company. But, Deacon Development persevered through the challenges and appeals to complete and deliver a successful project.
Steve Deacon founded Deacon Construction in 1981. While Deacon Development and Deacon Construction are separate companies, there is excellent synergy and shared experience between the two. This established history helps Deacon Development tackle even the most challenging projects with confidence.
