About F & R Development
F & R Development is a family-owned building company with more than 40 years of experience delivering high-quality residential and commercial construction throughout the Virginia Piedmont.
Our work is grounded in craftsmanship, integrity, and hands-on leadership, values shaped by decades of building the right way, with accountability and long-term responsibility.
As a father-and-son team, F & R represents both legacy experience and the next generation of thoughtful building. Cole Forsten has grown within the construction and development industry, bringing a modern perspective shaped by years in the family’s work and a deep commitment to how buildings perform over time.
The Forsten family also owns Old Town Athletic Campus, a wellness-focused campus in Warrenton dedicated to whole-health living. That connection has strengthened an already shared belief: the environments we build directly affect how people live, feel, and thrive.
Together, F & R Development blends proven construction experience with an evolving focus on healthier, higher-performing homes and structures, creating projects built with intention and designed to endure for generations.
