About Allied Development, Allied Investments, and Vest Right

Founded by Cody Bjugan, a 20+ year veteran in land development, Allied Development is a land development company specializing in identifying, controlling, entitling, and preparing off‑market raw land for residential development. We control land without owning it, add massive value through the entitlement process, and deliver development‑ready opportunities to America’s homebuilders. Allied American Land Fund is our evergreen private real estate fund that provides capital to support Allied Developments land acquisition and development projects.

We deploy investor capital directly into deals, manage fund‑level financials, track project performance, and deliver returns to limited partners. Vest Right teaches Cody’s proprietary LDP Model (Land with Development Potential) to aspiring land acquisition and entitlement specialists nationwide.
