🎙️ In this episode, I sit down with Tyler Greene, Vice President at Gilbane Development, to talk about leadership, long-term growth, and how thoughtful development strategies can shape the future of cities.
With more than 20 years of experience in multifamily, mixed-use, and community-driven projects, Tyler is leading Gilbane’s strategic expansion into Salt Lake City and spearheading its presence across high-performing Western U.S. markets. His career has been defined by an ability to scale complex projects, build meaningful public-private partnerships, and deliver housing solutions that support long-term regional resilience.
Before joining Gilbane in 2025, Tyler founded Surface Development, where he oversaw a $350 million residential pipeline and led market entry for a nationally recognized developer. His leadership has helped shape over $1 billion in development across Utah and Hawaii — with a focus on attainable housing, sustainable growth, and projects that strengthen the fabric of communities.
What stood out most in our conversation is Tyler’s vision for leadership and impact. He shares what it takes to grow in this industry, how to think long-term in a fast-changing market, and why successful development isn’t just about buildings — it’s about creating places that last.
In this episode, we dive into:
(1) The leadership lessons Tyler has learned from two decades in real estate
(2) How public-private partnerships are shaping the future of development
(3) Strategies for building resilient, community-centred housing solutions
(4) What makes the Western U.S. such an exciting and competitive market for growth
Tyler’s insights are forward-looking, strategic, and deeply rooted in a passion for building communities — a must-listen for anyone in real estate development, leadership, or urban planning.
