Nate founded Neutral based on this thesis in 2020 and continuously seeks to evolve and innovate new sustainable development methods to rejuvenate our built environment. Nate’s experience working for a Midwest developer, who managed 2,000 units and developed an average of 400 units per year, allows him to apply his expertise in financial modeling, capital raising, investor relations, deal structuring, Midwest market analysis, insurance management, development project management and innovative building design to Neutral’s continued success.
