CREATIVE DEV VENTURES: SHAPING LAND, BUILDING LEGACY At Creative Dev Ventures (CDV), we believe land development is more than construction—it’s a catalyst for community, innovation, and meaningful impact. Founded by Carina Guzmán, a visionary land strategist and educator, CDV is redefining the development landscape through co-creation, values-driven design, and strategic partnerships that prioritize people and place. We lead and support innovative development projects across Canada, with a focus on transforming underutilized land into thriving, inclusive communities. From urban infill sites to mixed-use neighborhoods, our projects are rooted in sustainability, equity, and long-term value. Whether advancing joint ventures, preparing turnkey investment packages, or advising municipalities, we offer deep market insight, robust stakeholder engagement, and streamlined execution. A core focus of our work lies in collaborating with strategic partners—developers, builders, and investors—who share our commitment to thoughtful, forward-looking development. These partnerships strengthen project delivery, reduce risk, and drive innovation, allowing us to bring high-impact ideas to life with greater speed and integrity. Carina’s leadership is central to our mission. With decades of hands-on experience and a gift for strategic thinking, she bridges the gap between visionary ideas and real-world delivery. Her ability to unite public and private stakeholders, unlock development potential, and navigate complex municipal frameworks makes her a sought-after voice in the industry. Her work has inspired a new generation of professionals to approach development not only as a business— but as a responsibility. Education is a cornerstone of our impact.Through the Land Development Academy, CDV delivers immersive, user-centered online programs that demystify the development process. Our flagship course, the Land Development Accelerator, equips aspiring and experienced developers with practical skills in zoning, finance, site planning, and deal structuring. Designed with accessibility in mind, our platform features tools for all learning styles, including transcripts, captions, and hands-on templates. What sets CDV apart is our commitment to empowering people—students, investors, landowners, and community leaders alike. Whether we’re building physical communities, designing educational experiences, or developing tools to simplify complex processes, CDV stands at the intersection of creativity, strategy, and impact. We see land not just as property—but as possibility. And we’re proud to help others unlock its full potential.
