Advice from someone with his own capital at risk in the same game.

Feasibility through delivery for resort, commercial, residential, and institutional development, guided by a principal who has spent forty years developing, building, selling, and operating projects, and is doing it right now in Oregon.

Development is a sequence of expensive, irreversible decisions made with incomplete information: what the land can carry, what the market will pay, what the city will approve, what construction will actually cost, and which delivery model protects your returns. Most advisors have seen pieces of that sequence. Very few have owned all of it.

Martin has carried projects from raw ground through entitlement, construction, marketing, sales, and operations for four decades, with roughly $750 million of delivered work in Aspen and Jackson Hole. He is currently developing Buzzwood Village, an 18-unit micro-resort in Philomath, Oregon. The advice you get is the advice he gives himself, with his own money on the line.

Deciding Whether & What to Build

  • Site and acquisition feasibility: what the parcel can actually carry
  • Pro forma development and stress-testing against real construction costs
  • Product and market positioning: what will sell or rent, at what number
  • Entitlement strategy and jurisdiction navigation

Getting It Built

  • Delivery model selection: design-build, CM, GC, hybrid
  • Team assembly: architects, engineers, contractors, consultants
  • Budget and schedule control frameworks set up before ground breaks
  • Ongoing advisory through construction, marketing, and stabilization

Scaled to the decision in front of you.

Some clients need a two-week feasibility read before an earnest-money deadline. Others need a standing advisor across a multi-year project. Engagements are structured accordingly, from a fixed-fee feasibility assessment to monthly advisory retainers, and every one begins with a conversation about what you're trying to decide.

Have a site, a pro forma, or a hunch?

The cheapest mistake is the one caught before closing. Bring the question early.
