RE Developer/Owners Rep…DMs open…⛳️8.8

[ClarkDevelops @ClarkDevelops]

A re-intro, as I’m excited to meet everyone at @ReconveneLA in a few weeks

Started my career as a Geotechnical/Structural Engineer 2007-2014

Left engineering after getting my PE license to work on a small RE development team, funded by a publicly traded REIT 2014-2023.

Our small team (4-7 people) built hotels, townhomes, condos and retail, including a live music venue within a Redevelopment Zone.

In 2023, we spun out on our own, and are under construction on a 200 unit multifamily project, with more in the pipeline.

I also started my own Owners Rep consulting business - Clark Development Services - in 2023 and took on a few clients who were first time developers.

When I’m not entitling, estimating, building or asset managing - I’m golfing or with the wife and kids (7 & 10).

Looking forward to sharing more of my experiences on here and meeting others on the path.

@iononrecourse One time, they stole the pea gravel too 🤷‍♂️

@anymanfitness Justin Verlander pitched against my college team. He was hitting 99 in the 9th inning.

@SimpleCRE Also, when I see a fresh markout…

Who called that in 🧐

@DonovanBuilds I’m so old I remember buying a meatball sub and a Snapple with a $5 bill.

@twallyweb Tough thing about THs with pitched roofs - Where are the AC condensers going to land?

[ClarkDevelops @ClarkDevelops]

@bhargreaves High land prices

@donkeyDdevelops Sorry - thought you would just use septic tanks 🤷‍♂️

Most of my projects have been on the Coastal Plain of NJ. Our sand here is intermixed with coarse to fine gravel, so it compacts well. From time to time, we have to add water to achieve compaction.

For higher loads, the sand is great for friction and end bearing piles.

From a stormwater management standpoint - it’s a dream for infiltration.

@twallyweb I challenge him to a duel

@patcarino I was on my Planning Board for 6 years. I kept the board in line and reminded them what we could and could not comment on.

[ClarkDevelops @ClarkDevelops]

@patcarino You didn’t get the building logo on the dumbbells???

[ClarkDevelops @ClarkDevelops]

@twallyweb They missed half the scope

[ClarkDevelops @ClarkDevelops]

@_specofdirt Plus - you know you have a solid concrete sub from the 2nd day on the job.

Not a 🤡 that straps 2x4s to the rebar and sprays some orange paint on it.

[ClarkDevelops @ClarkDevelops]

@groundupgrind Paid *in full* too 😂

[ClarkDevelops @ClarkDevelops]

@spencertbarber Always maximize ROV (Return on Vibes) potential 🤙
