Looking for Developers
I'm looking for developers in certain geographic areas of the USA. All I did was google 'xxxxxx, CA developers' and see some but know there are so many more. I know some developers are through regions and not through a state or city but how do I find them? What resources do other people use to find developers in certain areas?

Edit: I'm seeking multifamily developers.

You can reach out to those developers because you know they are interested in the area.\n\nHere is an example of Seattle's [https://www.seattleinprogress.com/](https://www.seattleinprogress.com/). They have a great one that is very robust, while most other cities will have a pdf you can find that details the projects and where they are in the process. All will have the contact info that you are looking for.\n\n&amp;#x200B;\n\nIf you have access to costar, find the best buildings, or the buildings that best match what your project will be and search for the original developer through that.\n\n&amp;#x200B;\n\nReach out to local GC's and architects that have built projects in the area and let them know about your opportunity and ask if they know of any groups that might be a good fit - My group has done deals that were brought to us from GC's and architects (this helps build the business and relationship for them so they have incentive to help you here).\n\n&amp;#x200B;\n\nCall the city planning department and tell them you are looking for a developer to contact, My group has done deals from city planners contacting us about opportunities.\n\n&amp;#x200B;\n\nHope this all helps man, good luck!", "replies": [], "depth": 1}, {"id": "ei8gum6", "text": "Depending on your market, Katerra may be a good option.
