About Dev Strategy
Built by Builders. For Builders Who've Outgrown Their Team.
We do not theorise from a distance. Dev Strategy was built from real experience delivering complex real estate and construction projects across Jamaica and the wider Caribbean. We understand the pressure that comes with managing contractors, timelines, reporting, budgets, communication, and execution at scale. Our goal is simple — to give ambitious developers access to elite operational leadership and execution infrastructure without the overhead of building a large in-house senior management team.
Origin
The Caribbean Real Estate Market Does Not Lack Ambition. It Lacks Execution Partners Who Truly Understand the Terrain.
That gap is why Dev Strategy exists.
Founded in 2023, we were built for developers and investors navigating the space between vision and execution capacity.
We are not competing with your existing advisors.
We are the implementation engine that makes the strategy a reality.
Leadership
25+ years in large scale Caribbean RE
Dev Strategy was built to give Caribbean leaders access, without the overhead, to the kind of senior operational expertise and project leadership that usually only the big firms can afford.
Shani Dacres-Lovindeer
Principal Consultant & Founder
“I've spent over 25 years in large scale Caribbean real estate development. I built Dev Strategy to close the execution gap that keeps serious projects from reaching their potential. Caribbean leaders deserve access to senior operational expertise without the overhead of building a large in-house executive layer.”
