Built from the ground up — literally.
Josh Kerr grew up watching development happen in Arkansas — and noticing the gap between what was possible and what was actually getting built. The market had plenty of developers willing to put up product. It had far fewer who cared deeply about what that product would mean for the street, the neighborhood, and the city ten years later.
Innovative Development was founded to close that gap. Since day one, the firm has operated on a simple principle: every project has to pass the "name test." If Josh wouldn't want his name associated with it in ten years, he won't take it on today. That discipline shapes everything — deal selection, design standards, partner relationships, and how the firm communicates.
Today, Innovative Development is one of the most design-forward real estate firms operating in Central Arkansas. Josh leads all deal origination, underwriting, and design direction personally — which means every partner and investor works directly with the person responsible for outcomes.
