Powerhouse brother team brings decades of development experience
Atlanta-based Blue River Development, LLC is excited to announce the addition of powerhouse brother team Sean and Kevin Connelly as Strategic Partners, bringing decades of development experience to the company.
With 50 years of combined experience in the Southeast real estate market, the Connelly brothers have maintained a large rental portfolio for institutional investors and entitled, zoned, and/or developed over 2,000 lots in the metro Atlanta area. Both brothers possess extensive experience in financial modeling, land planning, acquisition, and disposition of land and lots. By partnering with the Connelly brothers, Blue River Development will be able to source new strategic capital and execute financial strategies more efficiently and effectively.
The brothers first met Blue River Development’s Brad and Michael Cooper while collaborating on several deals. The Connelly brothers have brought many new Atlanta MSA deals to Blue River. Their expertise in zoning projects, navigating entitlement processes, and working with strategic partners to raise capital will be vital assets to the Blue River Development team.
Managing Principal Brad Cooper expressed his enthusiasm about the new additions, stating, “We are thrilled to have Sean and Kevin join our team at Blue River Development. Their extensive experience and proven track record in the industry will undoubtedly contribute to our company’s continued success and growth.”
Kevin and Sean Connelly played varsity soccer in college and are both graduates of Georgia Southern University with bachelor’s degrees in business administration. Both brothers reside in Roswell with their families.
With over 20 years of experience developing and acquiring nearly $3 billion in residential, multifamily, and retail projects, Blue River Development’s achievements are driven by its ability to provide and catalog the most up-to-date market intel, execute on that data, and maintain accountability to clients and investors.
