Architect turned Developer Input
I'm an architect and designer interested in starting a new architecture studio that also builds, develops, and operates its own design projects.
I plan to start in Columbus, Ohio, where I have access to resources like contractors and a network of local architects. Columbus has remarkable potential to develop a proof of concept.
The goal is to build ground-up residential or hospitality projects. Though, I feel like I will need to start small and am trying to find the best resources to develop a strategy and to get started. Would love any input!
Thanks!
