To celebrate Black History Month, MHN brings you a compelling conversation with DeLisa Guerrier, one of Tennessee’s top real estate entrepreneurs.

DeLisa Guerrier grew up in Northern California having her mother as her role model. To put food on the table, Guerrier’s mom worked as a pile driver operator, a job that was (and still is) far from what women would typically do. But it taught Guerrier that there weren’t any limits to how much she could grow.

Today, together with husband Elde, she owns a successful real estate development and investment firm in Nashville, Tenn. Guerrier Development is all about intentional development and long-term impact. Alongside partners, DeLisa and Elde delivered hundreds of workforce apartments and continue to focus on improving local families’ lives by building attainable housing on land owned by churches.

Now, they’ve set their eyes on changing the Nashville community forever by developing Storyville Gardens, a $1.2 billion project to be built over the course of five years. Plans call for multifamily units, condos, retail, a golf course, dining and entertainment—with a story-based theme park resort at the heart of it all.
