Tyson Dirksen

Tyson Dirksen is a San Francisco–based real estate developer and development advisor with more than three decades of experience across entitlement-intensive urban infill, mixed-use environments, and transit-oriented projects.

His background includes acquisition, municipal navigation, construction oversight, brokerage exposure, and vertically integrated execution across multiple market cycles. Field experience reinforced a consistent observation: projects rarely falter from lack of ambition. They weaken under regulatory friction, sequencing misalignment, cost sensitivity blind spots, and unmanaged technical risk.

Current work focuses on addressing those variables early — aligning entitlement pathways, feasibility assumptions, building science integration, and execution planning before flexibility narrows.

Select principal initiatives are executed through Evolve Development Group. Advisory engagements are undertaken selectively through Durata Advisory. Project scale is aligned with operating capacity and complexity discipline. Tyson focuses on identifying structural risk in development before capital, design, and entitlement decisions become irreversible.
