The Female Developer Redefining What Cities Should Look Like with Meg Epstein

Episode 511 – Meg Epstein | CA South Development

What happens when a UCLA finance grad skips Wall Street during the 2008 crash and instead dives into $60 million Bel Air construction projects? For Meg Epstein, that pivot led to a thriving development career and the founding of CA South, a Nashville-based real estate firm with over $380 million in projects across industrial, multifamily, and mixed-use.

In this episode, Meg shares:

• How she went from walking luxury job sites in Beverly Hills to reshaping urban neighborhoods in Nashville

• Why great design is her secret weapon in a sea of bland multifamily builds

• How she's pioneering short-term rentable condos as a hybrid between investment and lifestyle

• What industrial outdoor storage (IOS) really is — and why it's her next big bet

• Her take on urban planning, walkability, and the future of Southeastern U.S. cities

• How she's leveraging AI to streamline due diligence and investor communications

• The unique opportunities found in non-institutional, niche asset classes

Whether you're an investor curious about where development is headed, or a builder looking to differentiate your product, this conversation will give you a rare look inside the mind of a fast-scaling developer—and the strategies she's using to stay ahead of the curve.
