David Bartlett, Vice President, Land Entitlement

David Bartlett, Vice President of Land Entitlement for Brookfield Southland, is the man who quite simply, makes Brookfield’s inviting neighborhoods possible. After 18 years as a consultant to land developers, property owners, public agencies, and homebuilders, David joined Brookfield Southland because he wanted to share in the genuine camaraderie that comes with the creation of homes and communities that are truly unique. Through his friendly, yet persuasive negotiation skills, David is exceptional at securing State and Federal permits for Brookfield, using his role as a political and government liaison to not only ensure Brookfield’s entitlement plans are legally bound, but to also express an understanding of larger real estate public policy issues. His insight, expertise, and easy manner give Brookfield the opportunity to craft the residences that so many Brookfield Enthusiasts love to call home.

David’s devotion to being a part of these inviting home communities stems from his own life, where his wife and three children know the value of a welcoming homelife. After a hiking adventure to Mount Whitney or the Grand Canyon, home is a haven of familiar comfort. When his kids win their soccer game, home is where Coach Bartlett treats his champions to a celebration. Home to David is a place where memories are made and futures are built. That’s why when it comes to Brookfield homes and communities, his passion goes beyond his Vice President title—he enjoys taking the time to walk through new communities with Brookfield homebuyers and enthusiasts, sharing in their moments of promise for their own futures. It’s in those moments that David knows; he’s part of something truly special with Brookfield.

“Destiny is no matter of chance. It is a matter of choice. It is not a thing to be waited for; it is a thing to be achieved.”
—William Jennings Bryan

David has been a part of Brookfield for three years. He holds his Bachelor of Arts Degree from the University of Arizona. He has been on the BIA Board of Directors from 2005–2007 and is also a member of the BIA Executive Committee.
