About Benjamin Julius
Ben is the founder and CEO of Lionheart Development. His enthusiasm and dedication to real estate have grown the company from a small scale rental and construction business to a successful land development company.
In 2017 feeling lost in the professional world, Ben and his wife leveraged everything they had to dive into real estate. Fast forward to the current day and he now holds $200M assets under management and is continuing to grow. He is the boots on the ground guy and primary contact between planners, construction companies, and the municipalities during the site plan approval process and for all ground-up projects. Ben brings his creativity and philosophy of ensuring the best use of subject sites when he analyzes land and building purchase opportunities, during a due diligence phase, and when collaborating with appropriate stakeholders. Ben’s approach to development is both practical and passionate, in which he deeply values his relationships with investors and fellow industry professionals.
Prior to real estate, Ben spent the first part of his career coaching men’s collegiate basketball. Working in a team environment, adjusting his strategy on the court, and a strong desire to better the lives of individuals in his community, are just some of the transferrable skills that Ben brings to his development company.
