You just described every successful commercial agent specializing in restaurants I've ever worked with.\n\nYou want to talk about how to lay stuff out, lets upgrade that bar, put a band stage in over there?  You want to be a restaurant broker.\n\nI personally hate that shit and am a numbers guy lol.  When I have to get into that space I really appreciate the buyer/tenant brokers who love that stuff and figure out all the stuff I don't want to or don't have an eye for.\n\nIf you mean actually larger scale dev like say travelling to view a land location and figuring out how to put apartments or something on it then you are getting into civil engineering and architecture.  IF you were working acquisitions for a dev firm doing those projects you would work with those people and obviously have input.

Architecture potentially but IMO your best bet would be to stick with the track you\u2019re already on. As you get greater seniority (or become a developer yourself) you\u2019ll be meeting with various roles like architects and engineers and design firms and you can get your input into your projects that way. Also probably a decent bit of traveling to walk potential development sites and meet with LPs.", "replies": [], "depth": 1}]
