ABOUT
Two principals personally lead every engagement. When you hire us, you get us. Not layers of associates. Not endless presentations. Just experienced development leadership.
Ben Massimino
FOUNDER & PRINCIPAL
Ben Massimino has spent more than twenty-five years leading the acquisition, entitlement, capitalization, development, and delivery of multifamily, mixed-use, build-to-rent, and complex land development projects throughout the Western United States.
As both principal and development executive, Ben has represented hundreds of millions of dollars in real estate investments, working alongside family offices, institutional investors, lenders, municipalities, and private landowners. His experience spans the entire development lifecycle, from identifying opportunity and structuring capital to guiding projects through entitlements, construction, stabilization, and disposition.
Clients, investors, and partners value Ben for his ability to simplify complex development challenges, assemble high-performing teams, and help make informed decisions that maximize long-term value.
Prior to founding Massimino Development, Ben led Renovo Development in Park City, Utah, and worked in private banking and investment.
Olivia Massimino

Principal-Level Leadership
Whether you need strategic advice before purchasing land, experienced development management, or a long-term development partner, we engage where we're needed most.
Flexible Engagement
We Create Value Throughout the Development Process
The greatest opportunities - and the most expensive mistakes - often occur long before the first shovel enters the ground.
That’s where we focus.
WHY WE DO WHAT WE DO
Over the past twenty-five years, we’ve watched owners leave millions of dollars on the table - not because they lacked opportunity, but because they lacked experienced development leadership early enough in the process.
We’ve seen land sold before its highest value was realized.
Projects stalled because the wrong consultants were hired.
Entitlements take years longer than necessary.
Capital disappear because a project wasn’t positioned correctly.
Construction budgets increase because critical decisions weren’t made during predevelopment.
We’ve also seen what’s possible.
When experienced development leadership is involved early, owners have more options, projects move with greater clarity, and lasting value is created.
That’s why we built Massimino Development.
Not simply to develop projects.
To help owners, investors, developers, and trusted advisors make better development decisions.
