Learn to create wealth from real estate — not just earn fees. You've spotted the opportunities. You've wondered what it would take to get inside the deal, own the upside, and build something that pays you for years, not a one-time commission check.
The Development Intensive is a one-day working session for serious real estate professionals — taught by a Chief Development Officer who has led projects with a combined projected value of $1.5B+ and directed $115M+ in land acquisitions.
Chief Development Officer · Instructor
Real projects, real underwriting volume, and real execution experience — behind every framework in the room.
Move from fee income toward deal-side participation, keeping a part of the deal
Think beyond single assets into development-scale opportunity
Understand the economics and strategic logic behind the projects you help shape
Learn the approvals, capital, and decisions that shape the job before construction starts
Get a practical map from idea to finished project — and where you fit in
This is not theory. It is the working map developers use.
Where developers actually find opportunities — and how to identify, evaluate, and position yourself on deals before anyone else sees them.
How a deal moves from raw land or underperforming asset to a finished, leased-up project — and where value gets created at each step.
How to underwrite land, model costs, pressure-test assumptions, and evaluate whether a project pencils — or dies.
What it actually takes to get a project permitted and approved — and why this is the phase most people underestimate.
Debt, equity, preferred returns, waterfalls — how development deals get funded and how to position yourself as a partner or co-developer.
How to talk about opportunities with credibility and carry yourself in the rooms where development decisions get made.
A framework for what kind of project, role, or strategy fits your market and resources — and what a realistic first step looks like. This is your on-ramp into actual deals.
Early Bird pricing through April 15. Seats capped at 20–30.

The Development Intensive is held on the 13th floor of The Lattice — a building that is itself a case study in everything this day covers. You'll learn the development process while sitting inside the result of one.
Not retired. Not a speaker. Still sourcing, underwriting, and executing real projects.
Every framework comes from deals sourced, underwritten, entitled, capitalized, and built.
For people already in real estate or construction who are ready to move up.
20–30 seats. Real discussion, real questions, direct access throughout the day.
You're not just learning — you're spending the day alongside other ambitious people making the same move. The connections in the room are part of the value.
The Lattice is the venue. The building is part of the credibility.

Taught by someone still sourcing, underwriting, entitling, and executing real projects.
Justin Earl is Chief Development Officer at Redstone, leading acquisition strategy, entitlements, and vertical development across multiple asset classes and markets.
Over nearly 20 years, he has been involved in more than $115 million in land acquisitions, underwritten more than $3 billion in opportunities, and led projects with a combined projected value exceeding $1.5 billion — 3,500+ apartment units, 275 hotel keys, and 500,000 SF of commercial space across Utah, New York, Nevada, and Idaho.
A graduate of the University of Utah, he served as Adjunct Professor at the Eccles School of Business, teaching financial modeling and real estate business plan creation to MBA, MF, MAcc, and MRED students.
If you're serious about moving closer to the development side of real estate — and understanding how value actually gets created — this is your opportunity to spend a full day learning how the process works from someone actively doing it.
Seats are kept limited to keep the room small, practical, and high-value.
