Want to learn how to CREATE SIX AND SEVEN FIGURE VALUE by pursuing small-scale commercial real estate development opportunities? Chris Porto will talk about how to go after development deals in line with “smart growth” principles right here in the Bay Area. If you want to learn how to create transformative value in the development process that results in both large profits and positive impact for society, you won’t want to miss this month’s presentation.

Chris Porto is the President & CEO of Smart Growth – a sustainable real estate development and investment firm – founded in 2014 and based in Oakland, CA. Before founding the company, Chris held positions at Deloitte in their Sustainability & Climate Change practice and at SunPower in their project finance group; where he helped raise hundreds of millions of dollars for solar energy developments.

Chris is a full and active member of the Urban Land Institute (ULI) and sits on the small scale developer council. He earned a Professional Certificate in Real Estate Development from ULI. He is also a graduate of FortuneBuilders - a top training program and network of real estate investors across the country.

In addition to his own real estate development projects, Chris founded the Smart Growth Developer Academy with his Signature Program focused on "Building Wealth & Creating Impact with Real Estate Development" now open for enrollment.

Bringing you monthly mixers in East Bay with @Alice K., Jonathan Look, Principal of Konya Capital, LLC and Bryan Pham, Investor and developer!


They say real estate is a people business, so how about connecting with others just like you?

Consider this the time and place to join others in talking about all things real estate. Discuss deals, make deals, find partners, share stories, and engage in intellectual conversations about working towards new and bigger real estate goals.
