Middleburg Adds Development Partners in Phoenix, Denver and Nashville, Deepening Local Market Leadership
New hires mark early proof points of Middleburg's growth beyond its established Mid-Atlantic and Southeast footprint
Middleburg, a vertically integrated real estate investment, development, construction and management firm, today announced the appointment of three new Development Partners – David Breen in Phoenix, Kelly Dranginis in Denver and Sammy Stalcup in Nashville – expanding the firm's development platform into three new high-growth markets. The additions bring the total number of Development Partners Middleburg has hired in 2026 to four, underscoring the pace of the firm's national growth.
The new hires will report into Middleburg's regional leadership team. Breen and Dranginis join under Scott Makee, who leads the firm's newly launched Western U.S. development platform spanning select Sun Belt and Rocky Mountain markets, marking Middleburg's first expansion beyond the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic in its more than two-decade history. Stalcup joins under Scott Zimmerly, Regional Development Partner, who oversees Middleburg's Development Partner network across the Southeast. Each new partner will lead sourcing, capitalization, entitlement and construction execution for Middleburg's development activity in their respective markets, reflecting the firm's long-held philosophy that successful development requires dedicated local leadership rather than management from a distance.
