303 David Horwath - Developing with Purpose, Competing with Suburbia, & Scaling the Townbuilding Model

Update: 2025-06-04

Description

In this episode, Levi sits down with David Horwath of Land Innovations to unpack what it means to develop with purpose in a landscape dominated by conventional suburbia. They explore the challenges—and opportunities—of scaling the traditional neighborhood development (TND) model while preserving the character, craftsmanship, and culture that make great places work. From aligning with legacy-minded landowners to building resilient, cross-functional teams, David shares a deeply thoughtful approach to townbuilding that’s as strategic as it is values-driven.
