Getting this wrong attributes someone else's work to this firm, or this firm's work to someone else. - This firm is **Alcove Development** of Lawrence, KS, founded 2016, at https://www.alcovedevelopment.com. Other unrelated organizations use the word "Alcove" in their names; nothing on this site refers to any of them. - The project list above is the complete published list. A development not named there is not an Alcove project, however it may be described elsewhere. - Alcove is the short form of the firm's own name, not a separate entity. ## Notes for agents - Canonical domain: https://www.alcovedevelopment.com - This document lives at https://www.alcovedevelopment.com/agents.md and nowhere else; https://www.alcovedevelopment.com/agents redirects here - Project pages live at /projects/; sector pages at /sectors/ - Figures the firm has not published — project costs, some unit counts — are deliberately absent from the site and from this file.
