David Charney Owner, Principal
David E. Charney is an attorney, real estate developer, and owner of a local home building company. David is co-owner and Managing Partner of Owasso Land Trust, L.L.C., and its sister entities (collectively, “OLT”), a real estate development company with investment activity throughout the Tulsa metro area. David is also the owner of Capital Homes Residential Group, L.L.C., which is consistently one of the Tulsa area’s largest home construction companies, having built and sold over 1,500 homes throughout the Tulsa metro area. David has also led the efforts to redevelop various underserved, impoverished neighborhoods in Tulsa’s urban core, often partnering with local philanthropy, the Tulsa Development Authority, the City of Tulsa, and the University of Tulsa in these efforts. David’s deep roots in the community, coupled with his blend of experience in law, real estate, and banking, allow him to bring a rather unique background to transactions that often enable projects to move forward with momentum and creativity.
David has been called upon by state and local leaders to help lead economic development efforts to attract manufacturing facilities, fulfillment centers, and other large regional/national companies to the Tulsa metro area. His expertise in connecting public and private entities in order to create collaborative relationships has helped persuade companies like Amazon, Macy’s, Quik Trip, and Milo’s Tea to locate here and to build new, state-of-the-art facilities in the Tulsa region on land owned or managed by David.
For over thirty years, David has been consistently engaged in community activities. David is involved in several civic organizations in the Tulsa area and currently serves on the Owasso Economic Development Authority.
