Sebastian brings a rigorous analytical foundation to every project. His approach combines disciplined financial modeling with a deep understanding of Nashville's dynamic real estate landscape — from zoning and entitlements to construction delivery and investment returns.
Sebastian founded Tan Development with a clear mission: to identify underdeveloped opportunities in the Nashville market and transform them into high-quality residential, commercial, and mixed-use properties that generate lasting value for investors, partners, and the broader community.

What We Do Best
Comprehensive research on zoning laws, land use regulations, and environmental conditions to assess viability across residential, commercial, and mixed-use developments before purchase.
Identifying and evaluating potential risks — including zoning restrictions, environmental factors, and buildability — to minimize exposure and protect investor capital throughout every phase.
Working closely with local zoning authorities, planning commissions, and legal advisors to navigate complex regulatory environments and ensure all properties meet development requirements.
Managing project budgets with meticulous attention to land risks, cost factors, and financial modeling — securing appropriate financing for both acquisition and development phases.
Negotiating with landowners and sellers to acquire properties at competitive prices while factoring in long-term costs associated with regulatory challenges and development constraints.
Maintaining transparent communication with investors, stakeholders, and legal teams about project risks and goals — ensuring all parties remain aligned throughout the development process.
