accredited investors looking for real property ownership, fast timelines, and strong returns
Join Chris Duff and the Hummingbird Development team on Thursday, April 2nd at 6:30 PM in Walnut Creek, CA — and discover how a Northern California operator with 50+ completed projects is giving accredited investors direct access to a live deal before it closes — and how you can own a direct piece of the property, not a fund.

About Our Process
Hummingbird Development was built for investors who want:
Direct property ownership — not a fund, not an LLC of LLCs. You own a piece of the actual real estate, with your name on the LLC
Proven, fast returns — 38% average return across 50+ completed projects (past performance is not indicative of future results). 40% projected on this deal in 6–8 months (projections are not guaranteed and actual results may vary)
Exposure to Northern California's most resilient corridor — Tiburon, Walnut Creek, and the East Bay
Full hands-on transparency — walk the property, see the plans, meet the team on site
A vertically integrated operator with no hidden markups — GC, broker, and designer all in-house
We find the deal, design the build, pull the permits, do the construction, and sell the home, all in-house. No markups. No delays. Just disciplined execution and investors who keep coming back.
