Burke Development

What Burke Development does

Burke Development is a privately held, Tampa Bay-based real estate development firm that provides full-service development management for multi-family, hotel, and self-storage projects. The company operates a project-based model in which it identifies market needs first and then executes the full development lifecycle — entitlement, design, construction, operations, and disposition — on a hands-on basis. Its publicly visible active project is Storage Monkey, a 462-unit climate-controlled self-storage building with 89 covered RV and boat spaces on a 6.5-acre site in Seffner, FL, which received unanimous approval from the Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners and was featured by Inside Self Storage and Sparefoot.

The firm is founder-led by Connor L. Burke, whose publicly cited track record includes acquiring, developing, managing, and selling over $1 billion of multifamily, hospitality, and self-storage real estate. Burke Development is structured as a boutique sponsor with 1-10 employees headquartered in Clearwater, FL, and relies on a dedicated investor login portal to syndicate project capital with direct investor and capital-partner relationships. The company's stated core differentiator is a proprietary, market-need-first approach to site selection and project positioning, though the underlying technology, data assets, and analytical methods are not disclosed.

Commercially, Burke Development generates revenue through development fees, transaction fees, and property disposition across its project portfolio, with pricing not publicly disclosed and negotiated on a per-project basis. Marketing is concentrated on the company website (project spotlight, company background, investor login, contact) supplemented by earned media in self-storage trade publications. There are no disclosed institutional funding rounds, acquisitions, partnerships, patents, certifications, or AI/ML capabilities, and revenue is not publicly reported; the firm appears to be bootstrapped or self-funded with founder-concentrated ownership.
