Dexter Lanigan

President & Founder

Dexter Lanigan founded New Age Development Group in 2007 and has since taken a hands-on approach with every project the company undertakes. Upon graduation from high school, Dexter decided to enlist in the United States Marine Corp and serve our Country. Unfortunately, in 1999 while serving for the U.S.M.C. he was injured. It was determined that Dexter could no longer physically serve our Country and he was granted an honorary discharge. That experience was invaluable towards his personal growth and later that year he enrolled in the Carpenters Apprentice Program, becoming a Union Carpenter with Local 1856 out of Philadelphia.

For the past thirteen years, Dexter has grown New Age Development Group into a full-service General Contractor and Construction Management firm, with offices in Horsham, PA, the Philadelphia Navy Yard and soon to be Washington, DC area.

Due to Dexter’s Service Disabled Veteran status, New Age Development Group is also officially considered a Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) and has used this designation to seek and secure multiple construction contracts given through the United States Small Business Administration. These opportunities have allowed us to create a Government focused division which has seen steady and consistent growth year after year.
