Lady Jane’s Haircuts for Men
Corporate Office & Flagship Salon · Project Lead
JD Capital Group led the design and build-out of Lady Jane’s corporate office and flagship salon, assembling and directing the full project team. The space was engineered around the brand’s service-centric positioning, with bold graphics, high-energy color, and sightlines that keep operations visible throughout. We integrated an interactive LCD wall, a circular LED display, and a virtual check-in system, managing design, technology, and custom fabrication while drawing on established industry relationships to control cost.

Brickell Drive Waterfront Development
Waterfront Land Development · Fort Lauderdale, Florida
Situated in the heart of Fort Lauderdale along more than 400 feet of New River waterfront, the Brickell Drive site is one of the most distinctive luxury properties in the city. JD Capital Group was engaged across the full lifecycle of the project, from initial site acquisition and tenant management through assembling an award-winning development team, navigating entitlement and planning, and structuring the eventual sale. The land alone sold for $1,000 per square foot with an approved plan set, a record for vacant land in Fort Lauderdale. That price reflects the value created by disciplined planning, coordinated execution, and the right team. The renderings shown reflect the approved architectural vision behind the transaction.

Woodward Sports Network
Day-One Buildout Through Acquisition · Metro Detroit
Woodward Sports Network began six years ago as a conversation and an idea: no audience, no infrastructure, and no certainty, just a vision for an authentic, disruptive voice for Detroit sports fans. JD Capital Group was there from day one, working alongside leadership to shape the foundation, navigate critical decisions, and execute the strategy, from the early-stage buildout to scaling operations, partnerships, and monetization. The network grew into Detroit’s largest and fastest-growing digital media network, culminating in a seven-figure acquisition of a majority stake in May 2026.
