Description

In this episode, Carter interviews Casey Roloff, CEO, and Jeff Gundersen, CFO, of Seabrook Land Company to explore their journey in building thriving, walkable, new urbanist communities in the Pacific Northwest.

  •  How Seabrook's team incrementally develops and finances walkable, connected, and enduring communities by leveraging pre-sales and creative capital strategies.

  •  Strategies for integrating "missing middle" housing typologies to support affordability and socioeconomic diversity within a planned neighborhood. 
  •  The critical role of on-site hospitality, community governance, and long-term investment in delivering a cohesive homeowner and guest experience. 
  •  Key lessons learned from decades of development, including Seabrook's biggest surprises, planning and entitlement challenges, and the value of building communities for all generations.
