A founder-led development firm that keeps it simple: control good land, sign great tenants, build well, and protect our partners' capital.
BD DevCo was founded by Brendon Lochert and Troy Dyer — a developer and a builder — on a simple belief: the best development firms control every step from dirt to delivery. Today the platform spans national-tenant retail, Class A multifamily, opportunity-zone redevelopment, and destination assets like ALTA Garages and The Haven at Pretty Lake — with sitework self-performed through our excavation affiliate.
We're headquartered in the Fort Wayne, Indiana MSA, one of the Midwest's most consistent growth markets, and our flagship Copper Creek development in Huntertown is proof of the model working — one delivered building, one under construction, and 326 residential units entitled behind them.
Over $200 million in real estate development across retail, multifamily, and mixed-use assets. Extensive experience structuring complex transactions — development, debt placement, and sale-leasebacks. Preferred developer for national tenants including Starbucks, The Learning Experience, AutoZone, and Safelite. Leads capitalization, development strategy, and execution oversight.
Over $110 million in construction and infrastructure project execution, with a background in heavy civil, site development, and field supervision on large-scale projects for firms including TransCanada Pipelines, Hagerman Construction, and Fox Construction. Responsible for site execution, construction coordination, and operational efficiency.
Over $150 million in commercial real estate development across retail, multifamily, and industrial assets — including 20+ Starbucks locations and multiple national retail and restaurant projects. Ownership and management experience across multifamily, hospitality, office, and industrial portfolios.
CEO and President of Bodell Construction, a national contractor with a long-standing track record of delivering complex projects. Former President & COO of Brahma Group and CXO of the Year recipient. Oversees construction execution, contractor coordination, and delivery performance.

We partner with brokers, builders, municipalities, and capital partners who share our standard for execution.
Clean structures, plain-English agreements, and deals every party can understand. Complexity hides risk — we remove it.
Fair treatment of counterparties and transparent reporting to investors. We tell our partners the hard news as fast as the good news.
On schedule, on budget — the standard our tenants, lenders, and investors have come to expect from every BD DevCo project.
