Developing Housing with Dan Biswas

On this episode of the Phoenix Prosperity Podcast, I sit down with Dan Biswas, a real estate developer and the principal of Urban Phoenix and Drive-Thru Development. Dan shares his journey from landscaping and retail development to building multi-family housing in Phoenix. We talk about the lessons he learned working on 95 development projects in 26 states, the challenges of real estate cycles, and how he pivoted his business when market conditions shifted.

Dan also shares insights into the built-for-rent model, why he enjoys working with city officials to navigate the development process, and his experience with raising capital for projects. Plus, we discuss the Phoenix 2030 Club, a philanthropy group supporting disadvantaged youth, and how Dan’s own life experiences led him to get involved.

In this episode, we cover:

• Dan’s journey from landscaping to large-scale development
• How he transitioned from retail to multi-family projects
• The challenges of real estate development in today’s market
• The impact of rising interest rates on new construction
• What makes a great real estate investment
