About DDC

DDC is a collaborative platform designed to expand opportunities in real estate development by supporting professionals at every stage of their journey from vision to financing in a shifting landscape.

Our mission is to build capacity, expand access to resources, and create pathways for a broader, stronger, and more inclusive development ecosystem.

Our vision is to transform the development landscape into one where talent and ideas—not access to legacy networks—determine success.

By creating spaces through conferences, workshops, classes, and webinars, DDC serves as a nexus for knowledge exchange, relationship building, and dealmaking.

We began in the Midwest, and today we connect developers across sectors and geographies to build lasting impact from coast to coast.

Build new relationships with others

We host networking opportunities for dealmaking between aspiring, emerging and established developers and commercial real estate professionals crossing state lines, coasat to coast.

Invest In Yourself

We aim to leverage resources amongst the regional ecosystem supporting aspiring, emerging and established developers to offer education, technical assistance, solve challenges, and continue to build communities.
