About Our Founder
Pete A. Lang, president of Conservation by Design, has spent the past two decades acquiring, developing and managing residential, resort and mixed-use properties.  He is considered and authority in designing low density subdivisions in a sustainable fashion and tying these communities with significant conservation programs.  Lang's success has been built around the rapid appreciation of his neighborhoods, which greatly outpaced competing properties.

A graduate of The University of South Carolina and New York University, Lang began his career working as a corporate and tax lawyer in Washington, DC.  After more than a decade of practicing law and representing developers, builders and other real estate interests, Lang founded CbD in his home town of Fort Mill, South Carolina.

During his career, Lang worked in all aspects of real estate development including launch marketing, financing and subdivision development.  By 1999, he acquired more than 1,200 acres of ocean front and inter coastal properties, which have spun off numerous subdivisions.  Other projects focused on the development of lake front, riverfront and water-oriented communities.

Lang has also bee active in conservation in the Carolinas over the past decade.  His efforts in the Fort Mill area include two conservation easements
as well as the pledge of 1.5 miles of Sugar Creek frontage for walking trails as part of the Nation Ford Greenway.  Lang became the first landowner on Daufuskie Island to record a conservation easement and his efforts have lead to the preservation of approximately 10% of Daufuskie Island's land mass.  Lang was recognized as the 2002 Preservationist of the Year by the York County South Carolina Chamber of Commerce.
