OUR TEAM
Jim Campbell
Jim has held strategic and visionary roles at several real estate developing companies in the past 25 years including the creation of Mesquite Homes in Tucson and Urban Moment in Austin. His focus has been in addressing development needs within specific urban locations and fulfilling those visions. While Jim is well-versed in all stages of the development cycle, his success is largely due to the solid relationships he has developed both with city staff, designers, and planners as well as his diversified portfolio of private and public partners that bring specific experience and knowledge to his projects.
Prior to real estate, Jim started his career as an engineer and district manager in the oilfield, then as a sales manager and VP of Sales. He joined his brother in high tech as a VP of Sales and ultimately took on the role of CEO/President, running two different high technology companies in San Francisco.

He has worked across multiple multifamily developments and high-end spec homes from inception to completion, partnering closely with architects, city officials, general contractors, and sales organizations to deliver successful, well-executed projects.
