Wiley A Sykes, III, although some people know me by my middle name, Arnold.
My longest held and only completely self owned company is Sykes & Sykes of Greensboro, LLC which was comprised of my father and me until he passed away in 2018. I am also a partner in many other LLCs for various land development projects. With S&S I acquire undeveloped and underdeveloped land and create single-family lots which I sell primarily to builders. This involves assessing potential properties, negotiating their purchase, rezoning and/or annexing if necessary, creating workable sketch plans for city or county review, hiring a firm to engineer plans based on my sketch and take it though the municipal planning process, hiring the various contractors to execute the plan and negotiating the sale of the completed lots. Our projects have ranged from 6 lot subdivisions to Chapel Ridge S/D with 278 lots. My father had expertise in the development field from years of work as a mostly onsite engineer with Borum and Assoc and through partnerships with Marvin Borum and others in various development projects beginning @ 1970. He was involved either as an engineer or partner in building thousands of Greensboro area single-family neighborhoods including Wedgewood, Waterford and parts of New Irving Park. Prior to that he worked as an engineer for Beaman Corp and before that he owned Central Engineering, Inc which built highway bridges and other steel reinforced concrete projects. My father and I started S&S @ 2002 and together we developed around 500 lots mostly in the Greensboro area.
