Rodney Montag

Senior Managing Director at Bedrock Land Finance

Speaker

Rodney Montag has 30+ years of hands-on experience in real estate investing, development, home building, finance, design, construction and planning. He has purchased, financed, obtained approvals, developed, built and/or sold over 200 projects totaling approximately 40,000 residential units.

Along with TWG Global, Rodney helped form Bedrock Land Finance to be a full-suite provider of Land Banking and Acquisition & Development (A&D) financing. The in-house team brings decades of residential development experience to deliver an institutional-quality partner with the flexibility of an operator-led team. TWG Global is a leading diversified holding company whose businesses span financial services, insurance, AI and technology, energy, sports, and real estate. The portfolio of the company and its principals includes Guggenheim Investments, Guggenheim Securities, Group 1001 Insurance, and major sports franchises such as the LA Dodgers, LA Lakers, and the Cadillac Formula 1 Team.

Previously, Rodney founded and ran RAM Real Estate Capital for 12 years. RAM provided capital to homebuilders and residential land developers seeking to grow their business. RAM was established to take advantage of the slow but steady recovery in the U.S. housing market and to aid homebuilders and developers in achieving their growth objectives in a capital constrained environment. RAM’s regional expertise and market insights are enhanced through its affiliated offices throughout the United States.

Prior to forming RAM, he was the Managing Director of Mountain Real Estate Capital where he was responsible for new business origination and capital market needs.

Before Mountain, he started a real estate investment platform at Cantor Fitzgerald to take advantage of distress opportunities that occurred in the recession that started in 2008.

From 1996 to 2008, Rodney was partner at Spectrum Communities where he ran the land acquisition and development group and coordinated the company’s sale to WCI Communities in 2004. He was a key member of the management team that grew Spectrum from a $25M local homebuilder to a $250M regional subsidiary of a public company.

He spent the first 10 years of his career building and developing apartment buildings in New York City for Procida Construction and Development.

Rodney graduated from Washington University in St. Louis with a BA in Architecture and is a member of the Urban Land Institute.
