Call me if you want to control land and multiply its value. I analyze trends and leverage them to create commercial buildings. With over 5 years as Founder & CEO and 15 years in the industry, I multiplied ROI up to 5X in CRE by leveraging and de-risking the most misunderstood part of development - land acquisition, zoning and entitlements. As Head of Land Development l directed my own development company, sourced and acquired off-market deals, established partnerships, identified zoning arbitrage, structured capital-efficient deals, and unlocked significant returns in complex urban environments. In 2 years I built a $450MM pipeline with 1700acre off-market greenfield and brownfield properties across Northern Europe. In addition I structured 5 syndicates and JV partnerships in the Oslo region. Through these I managed all aspects of land development; due diligence, financial modeling, negotiated land options and right-of-way for over 200 acres. I directed and produced feasibility studies of FAR, infrastructure, grading and water detention. Simultaneously as Senior Project Manager of Urban Planning I directed and produced entitlements on projects totaling 700 acres while coordinating and aligning engineering teams to complete reports on traffic, hydrology, geology, pollution and environmental impact statements. In addition I directed and produced an unanimously approved and implemented 3000acre municipal comprehensive plan for 8,000 inhabitants. Previously, I managed boutique residential developments as a founding partner at Forum Urbanum and Heidr, merging classical architecture with cutting edge prop-tech to streamline zoning, entitlement and construction processes. My expertise spans from land acquisition to development, zoning and risk management, ensuring seamless project execution. Motivated by harnessing overlooked market opportunities through CRE and land development, I align with stakeholders to deliver impactful, future-ready developments.
