In this episode of Commercial Real Estate Talk with Steve and Arnie, our hosts interview Colton Sudberry, President & CEO of Sudberry Properties, an extremely active developer of large, master-planned, multi-phased, mixed-use projects around San Diego County over the past five decades. In this very interesting and informative conversation, we discuss: growing up in San Diego and going to University of Colorado and playing on the Buffalos football team that won the national championship in 1990; how he started in commercial real estate before joining his father in the development business; the first major development deal he accomplished; the standout development of his career; the one he wishes he didn't start; details about Sudberry’s current projects - Civita, El Corazon and Watermark; how Sudberry finds, finances, analyzes and exits properties. We then heard his views on the different sectors Sudberry operates in and the challenges involved with developing in each.
