Scott Pardee - How to Build a Community

Scott Pardee is a developer out of Tulsa, Oklahoma who founded Pardee Construction. This episode is different because Scott is right in the middle of his project. We dig into the lessons, tribulations, and day to day of his work. He is building a Traditional Neighborhood Development (TND) which is (in simple words) a community that is more human focused.

In this episode we get into the weeds on the day to day of building a community - from design to common problems to the stakeholders that make it possible.

Scott has worked tirelessly to build the connections, skills, and support to put together his project. After years of working with consultants and building his vision, he is finally about to break ground. This project is likely his life’s work, and you will hear that passion in his voice. If you want to get some tactful advice to start your own project - this is the episode for you.
