Architect + Development

[Ross Renjilian]

Just wanted give this forum post thing a try! I am an avid listener of the podcast and decided to jump onto the forums.

I am a local architect here in Chicago specializing in residential and small scale commercial / hospitality build outs. 

I am also very interested in real estate development, and hopefully one day will start developing some projects here in Chicago! I am putting an offer on a property tomorrow so wish me luck 😊

Looking forward to being a part of this great community, and if anyone needs any architectural guidance just send me a dm! 

Sincerely,

Ross Renjilian

Architect + Development is exactly what I want to do and will do. I've been an architect for 15 years and have seen many developers. I figured it is time to go to their side of the table and bring in the profits. 

For those of you interested in pursuing down this path check out Jonathon Segal Architect. He has done some amazing stuff. He shows exactly how you can make a profit building new. He also offers a course called Architect as Developer. I've never taken it but it seems interesting and only cost a few hundred. 

I also have a mentor here in DC named Robert Bell. He finds old buildings and restores them to rent out to offices, retail and residential. He lives off his passive income and now does projects just for fun (with making money). 

Good luck on the offer! 

Right now I'm building my own house and plan to rent the basement. Long and adventurous road. It is extremely different when you are not just the Architect but also the Owner and Builder. You can read my website to see what I've been through in the first 60 days of construction.
