#134 From Actuary to Developer: Alec McElhinny’s Path to 54,000 SF of Industrial Success
Manage episode 489205596 series 3330341
In this episode, I sit down with Alec McElhinny — a sharp, data-driven developer who walked away from a career in actuarial science to build over 54,000 square feet of industrial value-add projects. We talk about his current flex space development, how he underwrites projects with precision, and why he believes beautiful design doesn’t have to break the bank. Alec also shares his passion for helping other young men break into the world of real estate development.
If you’re into numbers, vision, and practical steps toward building something real — this one's for you.

Alec’s Little Nugget:
The real hack is understanding what a niche actually means. If everyone’s talking about something, it’s already saturated — that’s not a niche anymore. True niches are the quiet corners, the topics no one’s paying attention to yet. That’s where the real opportunity is. To find them, go straight to the source, dig deeper than surface-level trends, and uncover what others are overlooking.
