Meet Frank & Lauren
The heart and soul behind MDF. Over ten years ago, we combined our unique talents and shared passion for transforming homes into luxurious havens. Through hard work, creativity, and unwavering dedication, we turned this passion into reality, leading to the creation of MDF.
Lauren Wallace
With a rich background in luxury interior design, I honed my craft at a premier design firm in the valley. It was there I met my husband, Frank, and together we discovered a unique opportunity. We noticed a gap in the market – transforming well-built 1990s and early 2000s homes in Paradise Valley into beautiful, move-in ready havens for buyers who didn’t want the hassle of a renovation.
Combining our expertise in construction and design, Frank and I founded MDF Development. We started by bringing stunning luxury remodels to market and soon began working directly with clients. Helping clients find properties and creating custom remodels tailored to their needs and tastes became a passion. Ensuring that each project is not only beautiful but also a smart investment, we enhance property values and portfolios.
As MDF Development grew, so did our ambitions. Venturing into procuring land and developing new construction projects, always with the same dedication to quality and style. Today, we continue to pour our hearts into every project, creating gorgeous, profitable homes that delight clients and stand out in the market.
