From Rule-Follower to $450M Sports Ecosystem Developer | EP#57

What does it take to go from hospitality jobs and side businesses to helping build a $450M mixed-use sports and community development?And how do you step into development when you never set out to be a developer?In this episode, Beth Underhill shares her path from catering and entrepreneurship to real estate investing, student housing, and ultimately leading a large-scale 103-acre sports and mixed-use development. She breaks down how exposure to landlords and developers shifted her mindset, how early flips and contractor issues shaped her approach, and how commercial real estate opened the door to bigger thinking.Beth walks through how the sports complex vision evolved into an entire ecosystem, hotels, retail, multifamily, food, and wellness, driven by local demand, city plans, and strategic relationships. She also gets real about financing challenges, partnerships, and what it actually takes to move a project of this scale forward.🔗 Full Episode: https://youtu.be/doPVeF_BTr8📥 Developer Vault:http://www.localrealestatedeveloper.com/developer-vault-optinGuestBeth Januzzi Underhill Website: www.investingwithbeth.com Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/bethjanuzziunderhill/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/investingwithbeth/ About the ShowThe Local Real Estate Developer Podcast is for locals who want to build in their own communities.
