Michael Holman

VP, Development & Finance at Overland Corp.

Speaker

Michael Holman is a VP at Overland Group, Inc., a vertically integrated real estate firm specializing in the development, construction, and management of real estate assets. Michael oversees the development and financing efforts at Overland. He specializes in the development and financing of multifamily, mixed-use, and storage assets across the western US. He is actively overseeing the development and financing of over $350 million worth of real estate assets and has millions more in the pipeline.

Michael has managed the development of some extremely complex projects. His development experience includes rezones, re-plats, land assemblages, HOA creation and extinguishments, easement creation and abandonments, multiple TIC owners, and much more across multiple projects. His quick rise to leading developments is because of his ability to put together first-class development teams, foresee problems, and provide strong leadership.

In addition to development, Michael has a special talent for capital markets, including deal structure and financing. He has experience structuring deals through multiple sources including retail equity partners, institutional equity partners, preferred equity, mezzanine debt, and senior construction and permanent lenders. With his broad range of experience structuring deals, he is able to ensure that each deal is structured in a way that allows each deal the best ability to succeed. When it comes to capital markets, Michael’s goal has always been the same, attempt to exceed expectations. This focus has allowed him to successfully source hundreds of millions of dollars of capital into Overland’s development projects.

Michael has always and will always credit his success to his amazing mentors and partners. His love of networking and relationship building has propelled him and his capabilities well beyond his own talents. In Michael’s own words, “our partners and relationships are the most important asset we own”. Michael is dedicated to this mindset whether he’s dealing with development partners, investors, lenders, or consultants.

Michael graduated from Brigham Young University with both a bachelor and master’s degrees in Accounting. Immediately following his education, he worked for EY (formerly Ernest & Young) in Salt Lake City, UT, one of the big four accounting firms. While there he earned his CPA designation. He went to Overland Group following his time at EY.

While he absolutely loves what he does, Michael is a family man first. He is married with 2 kids who keep him extremely busy outside of real estate.
