Real Estate in 2025: Henish Pulls Back the Curtain
Manage episode 513370628 series 3572299
What does it take to turn a modest house flip into a multimillion-dollar construction and real estate empire?
San Diego developer and operator Carl Dumesle traces a wild path from Haiti to the Dominican Republic and then to the United States after surviving the 2010 earthquake. A Nestle rescue flight got his family out, and nearly a decade in the DR taught him languages and grit before an MBA brought him to San Diego.
Once here, Carl built a student housing startup, raised early capital, then clicked with partner Michael Crawford to create Building SD, while launching Parkside Asset Management to own the full life cycle from acquisition to build to operations to exit. He believes pressure is a privilege, controlling the controllables, and creating abundant neighborhoods where everyone winning lifts the comps for all.
