Doug Simpson is a real estate investor and builder based in Nashville, Tennessee, where his family began acquiring infill lots in a subdivision overlooking the city. That effort grew into a family-run construction company focused on new builds and smart lot development. Doug has experience installing a water main and is now expanding into broader infrastructure planning, including roads and utilities, as they scale up their operations.

Well-known in Nashville’s real estate investment circles, Doug brings practical insight into assembling lots, navigating zoning, and unlocking hidden value in overlooked parcels. He also holds properties in Lancaster, Ohio, and other markets, giving him a multi-regional perspective. As the featured speaker for COREE’s Land Development and New Construction Focus Group, Doug will share lessons learned from building on infill lots and the challenges and opportunities of taking projects from dirt to done.
