Micah Durham

Micah Durham is Vice President at Compass Development, where he leads business development and helps
guide the firm’s strategic direction as part of the leadership team. An intuitive leader with a strong
entrepreneurial mindset, Micah brings a diverse background spanning commercial construction, real estate
development, marketing, business strategy, and stakeholder management. That breadth gives him a
practical, execution-focused perspective on how to move both complex projects and strategic business
relationshipsforward.

At Compass, Micah helps lead development consulting, owner’s representation, and strategic project
execution for commercial real estate clients and partners. He works with owners and developers throughout
the full development lifecycle—from early opportunity evaluation and feasibility through consultant
coordination, budgeting, construction strategy, and project delivery. His approach centers on aligning
stakeholders, reducing risk, improving decision-making, and maintaining momentum across increasingly
complex development environments. His project experience spans office, retail, education, healthcare,
tenant improvement, and special-use assets, with a particular interest in development strategy, capital
markets, organizational growth, and long-term value creation. In addition to individual project execution,
Micah is focused on helping clients and partners think strategically about how real estate decisions, capital
deployment, team structure, and market opportunities intersect.

Prior to joining Compass, Micah spent seven years in commercial construction, where he led project
development and stakeholder management efforts focused on evaluating external opportunities,
strengthening client relationships, and improving internal processes. His work centered on strategically
aligning construction teams with the right clients and projects, positioning both the organization and its
partners for successful execution.

Micah’s foundation in business development and strategy was built over nearly a decade leading his own
consulting practice, where he advised businesses across a broad range of industries on growth strategy,
marketing, project and program management, and organizational development. His clients included
companies in technology and fintech, financial services, franchising, food and beverage, hospitality, and
product development. That experience shaped a highly adaptable approach to problem-solving and
reinforced his ability to quickly understand complex businesses, identify opportunities, and translate
strategy into action.

Micah is also an active leader within the Southern Nevada commercial real estate community and currently
serves as a Committee Chair for CREDA Southern Nevada and on the Leadership Council for ULI Nevada. His
involvement reflects the same collaborative, relationship-driven approach he brings to his work at Compass:
connecting people, ideas, and opportunitiesin ways that create lasting value.
