Awards & recognition

  • SUSTAINABILITY Certified Building completed in 2012; reported June 17, 2013
    LEED Silver certification — Core & Shell · Cedar Bend Professional Center
    A 70,000-square-foot Cedar Bend Professional Center developed and constructed by Live Oak-Gottesman earned LEED Silver certification under the Core & Shell rating system; the certification is an older achievement and falls outside the stated 2016–2026 completion window.

Risks & source coverage

  • LEGAL Filed February 7, 2025; latest retrieved docket activity August 19, 2026 A lawsuit filed by Vicki Hitt alleges premises negligence against Live Oak–Gottesman LLC and other defendants; the case remained open as of the latest retrieved docket entry, and the docket records Live Oak’s answer and cross-claim, without establishing liability or a final judgment against Live Oak.
  • DELIVERY DELAY Reported October 8, 2020; zoning records show postponements from February through October 2020 The proposed Arboretum Lot 9 apartment project associated with Live Oak Gottesman was repeatedly postponed and then withdrawn by the applicant from the Austin zoning process; the contemporaneous report said the agent expected to file new rezoning requests, so this documents a stalled/withdrawn proposal rather than a confirmed permanent abandonment or a completed project.
  • DELIVERY DELAY July 15, 2026 deadline; status reported August 3–September 15, 2026 King’s Landing (Fort Pierce, Florida), involving Live Oak Development/Live Oak Holdings Group LLC, remains overdue and financially stalled: the hotel financing was required to be fully closed by July 15, 2026, but the project was still short $15 million and in default for missed construction and financing deadlines; on September 14 the city granted Live Oak a further 180 days to secure the funds, so the matter remained unresolved as of October 11, 2026 (the extension is a future commitment, not completed delivery).

The market here is United States: every other developer whose head office is in the same country, because planning regimes and reporting norms move together within one. It is not a city, a sector or a size band. Read the two delay figures together. A median close to the market with a much better average means no single disaster; the reverse means one project is carrying the record. Time to deliver runs from the earliest start we hold to the completion itself — a construction start where a source gave one, otherwise a sales launch, otherwise the launch year read as its January. A handover the sources place only inside a year is read as that December, so a duration is the widest the record allows rather than the flattering end of it. Only delivered projects dated at both ends count, so it is taken over fewer projects than the delay figures, and a long build is not a fault: a tower is not a villa run. Sourced figures only, both sides, and values taken from documents held on file are excluded here — a developer who shares their records should not score better than one who does not.

Click a row in the chart to open a project, or a table row below to see its sources. The chart runs wider than the page where the record spans many years — scroll it sideways to follow a project to its handover. Every date we have is drawn. A hollow marker is only a launch year, not a date anyone published. No dates published means we looked and found none; dates not yet checked means we have not looked yet. Handing over is not finished — rows say which. A delay is shown when one source gives the promised date and another gives the real one, however rough: "2019" still counts, and the row shows how wide that is. Projects missing one of the two dates, or with sources that disagree, are left out of the figures. 2 turned out to be about something else — a phase, a neighbour, the wider masterplan — and are marked off-subject.

Projects

Assessment coverage

Completed projects: 2016-10-15 through 2026-10-15. Initial research is capped at 10 completed projects and a separate delivery-risk search capped at 7 findings. Risk findings are not project assessment counts. Absence is not proof of a complete portfolio or no failures. Month-level dates overlapping a boundary are excluded from figures.

0 undated completions and 0 boundary-uncertain completions are retained but excluded from figures.

Stalled, cancelled & overdue projects

0 evidenced cases
The capped delivery-risk search ran; no project-level exception cases are recorded here. Risk findings are listed under Risks and are separate from assessed projects. This does not establish that the developer has no delivery failures.

SUSTAINABILITY Certified Building completed in 2012; reported June 17, 2013
LEED Silver certification — Core & Shell · Cedar Bend Professional Center
A 70,000-square-foot Cedar Bend Professional Center developed and constructed by Live Oak-Gottesman earned LEED Silver certification under the Core & Shell rating system; the certification is an older achievement and falls outside the stated 2016–2026 completion window.

Risks

Risk flags

3 found
LEGAL Filed February 7, 2025; latest retrieved docket activity August 19, 2026
A lawsuit filed by Vicki Hitt alleges premises negligence against Live Oak–Gottesman LLC and other defendants; the case remained open as of the latest retrieved docket entry, and the docket records Live Oak’s answer and cross-claim, without establishing liability or a final judgment against Live Oak.
DELIVERY DELAY Reported October 8, 2020; zoning records show postponements from February through October 2020
The proposed Arboretum Lot 9 apartment project associated with Live Oak Gottesman was repeatedly postponed and then withdrawn by the applicant from the Austin zoning process; the contemporaneous report said the agent expected to file new rezoning requests, so this documents a stalled/withdrawn proposal rather than a confirmed permanent abandonment or a completed project.
DELIVERY DELAY July 15, 2026 deadline; status reported August 3–September 15, 2026
King’s Landing (Fort Pierce, Florida), involving Live Oak Development/Live Oak Holdings Group LLC, remains overdue and financially stalled: the hotel financing was required to be fully closed by July 15, 2026, but the project was still short $15 million and in default for missed construction and financing deadlines; on September 14 the city granted Live Oak a further 180 days to secure the funds, so the matter remained unresolved as of October 11, 2026 (the extension is a future commitment, not completed delivery).
