Terra Pacific Development Information

Darrell J Leamon, principal of Terra Pacific Development, is a veteran real estate developer. He has purchased, and/or planned, entitled and built residential subdivisions both as a principal and as an executive for major public homebuilders. Total built and sold acquisitions are in excess of $300 million resulting in approximately 11,000 dwellings and over $3 billion in sales. His experience includes market research and analysis, project specific research and analysis, site acquisition, capital formation, and project entitlements in California, Arizona, Nevada, Mexico and Costa Rica. Responding to government pressure to contain grow within existing boundaries and densify their urban cores, approximately one-half of all acquisitions have been urban infill and/or rezone and repurpose. In supply constrained markets creating profits solely through construction is not good enough. Land must add value to the bottom line. Whether it be rezoning, subdividing, amending an existing entitlement (e.g. a PUD or tentative map) or solving an infrastructure problem, the land should always contribute to profits. There is great satisfaction in fulfilling a vision that others may have not imagined. Leamon’s mission is more than just getting to “yes”. He thrives on unlocking and maximizing the highest and best use of land. This achievement will always result in both private and public benefit. A full range of pre-acquisition, acquisition, planning, entitlement, capital formation and disposition services are offered on a fee basis. All services include, as required, the management of third-party professionals such as engineers, architects and marketing consultants. All services include, as required, private and public interface for presentations, workshops and statutory hearings.
