John McKenzie, PMP
REAL ESTATE ANALYST | CONSTRUCTION LAND DEVELOPMENT | PROJECT MANAGER
ABOUT ME
With 20+ years of experience across land development, investment analysis, and corporate real estate, I specialize in leading high-impact real estate initiatives from acquisition through delivery. I’ve directed multimillion-dollar residential and commercial developments, scaled national portfolios, and implemented financing structures like PIDs and MUDs to support long-term growth.
​
As VP of Corporate Real Estate at Caliber Home Loans, I expanded the national footprint from 62 to 421 locations, managing 2.8M+ SF and leading a $48M real estate budget. My transition into investment analysis at Build It Group sharpened my ability to evaluate risk, model returns, and support data-driven decision-making for acquisitions and market strategy.

Currently at M&A DevCo, I oversee the development of over 2,100 residential lots in DFW, managing entitlements, public financing, and construction execution. I’ve delivered 1,800+ lots in Austin and continue to align capital strategy with land use vision to maximize project value and community impact.
​
I’m known for my collaborative leadership style and ability to align cross-functional teams—engineers, legal, municipal, and financial stakeholders—toward common goals. Whether optimizing site plans, modeling cash flows, or securing entitlements, I take a strategic yet execution-focused approach that delivers measurable outcomes. My career is built on long-term thinking, disciplined project delivery, and creating value at every stage of the real estate cycle.
