10. Buzz Development Corporation
“Some deals were just too good to pass on.” This was what Dr. Richardson was encountering as
he became more and more exposed to sourcing capital, particularly in the real estate market.
To address that opportunity, Dr. Richardson partnered with Mr. Christian Toczko, having
extensive experience in the purchase, renovation and rental of properties, to form Buzz
Development Corporation.
Partnering with developers, Buzz joint ventures with projects to bring the capital (through
OGIC), project management, financial management as well as marketing skills (from Leverage 7)
to shovel-ready projects. For an equity stake, or ownership of the project, Buzz will resource it
and deliver it as planned, on time and on budget.
Buzz is open to housing communities, hotels and resorts, as well as commercial development.
Buss is focused on the United States, Canada, Caribbean and Central America currently.
