Best Developer Younger Than 40

Larry Warshaw

Larry Warshaw, 38, was policy director under Mayor Kirk Watson; he believes his projects should reflect community values and support sustainable growth. As a partner in Constructive Ventures, Warshaw's résumé includes Saltillo Lofts, Pedernales Lofts, and Spring Condominiums. From profits on Barton Place, he and his partners raised the bar by offering the city $1 million for affordable housing. Warshaw is a next-generation progressive developer to watch, and if he keeps it up, Austin may have to relinquish its old 1980s Gary Bradley evil-developer stereotype.
