Mission Statement and Purpose
Freedom Communities is an Arizona limited liability company whose
purpose is to acquire, plan, and construct subdivision improvements for
residential and mixed-use master planned projects in metropolitan Phoenix,
Arizona.
Freedom Communities follows strict underwriting guidelines for the projects
that it selects based on the acquisition power of the end consumer. Never
will artificial financing or underwriting practices be used nor will
consideration be given where end consumer demographics fall short of what
is needed to make a project work.
Principal Background
Brent Hickey – Brent grew up in and still resides in Chandler, Arizona, a
rural suburb of Phoenix. At an early age he learned all aspects of
construction by working for his father’s construction company, Central
Construction. Before graduating high school, he had worked on a crew
hanging and taping drywall, pulled electrical wire, worked on a roofing crew
for both residential and commercial buildings, as well as operated heavy
equipment on construction sites.
During his freshman and sophomore years, Brent attended Point Loma
Nazarene College in San Diego, California during which he received an
academic scholarship and was named the outstanding business student of his
class both years. Brent graduated from Arizona State University in 1988
with a Bachelor of Science degree in finance with an emphasis on real
estate. He was awarded the American Southwest Financial Services Award
for Academic Achievement in Real Estate Finance. While attending ASU,
Brent received his real estate sales person license for the State of Arizona,
and later his real estate broker’s license.
Principal Project Overview - Page 2 of 28
From 1989 through 1991, Brent managed and sold real estate assets for
Meracor Development, MeraBank Texas, and AMRESCO, a subsidiary of
Nations Bank. Brent was responsible for residential land for development
and multifamily apartment projects in Arizona, Dallas, Houston and Austin,
Texas, Oklahoma, Southern Colorado, and Las Vegas, Nevada. The total
portfolio value based on the disposition values was in excess of
$85,000,000.
In 1992 Brent was influential in the formation of Phoenix Holdings, a
residential land development company that acquired, entitled, and/or
developed finished lots for homebuilders. Brent acted in the capacity of
President and Chief Operating Officer and in those capacities was
responsible for daily operations, project acquisition, securing entitlements,
structuring of entities, project financing (acquisition and improvements),
infrastructure construction, and eventual project disposition.
At Phoenix Holdings, Brent was instrumental in the creation and
implementation of Portfolio Debt investment structures that allowed foreign
investors to invest in Arizona real estate without paying income tax. Brent
has structured acquisitions and investments for investors residing in the
United Kingdom, Ireland, Germany, British Virgin Islands, Bahamas,
Liechtenstein, Liberia, Mexico, and Panama.
Brent has not only master planned and zoned land for the State of Arizona;
Brent has also acted on a mediation panel to resolve disputes between the
City of Phoenix and the Arizona State Land Department.
In all, Brent has entitled and/or developed communities or subdivisions
comprising over 15,800 acres and over 41,000 residential units and
supporting commercial uses.

use designs that embraced the “green community concept” before its time.
Gary designed entitled and engineered property in Phoenix, AZ, Scottsdale,
AZ, Goodyear AZ, Albuquerque, New Mexico, Fort Worth, Texas, Denton,
