From Opportunity to Operations

CANVAS is a developer-led platform integrating development, capital strategy, architecture, and construction to deliver complex real estate and infrastructure.

We originate opportunities, structure deals, navigate approvals, design the project, build it, and serve as the operating layer through delivery.

Who we are

Lou Gambertoglio

Founder - Development

Lou is a real estate developer and operator with over 20 years of experience leading the full life cycle development of mixed-use, hospitality, and residential projects.

He has directed more than $3 billion in development across the U.S. and abroad, overseeing everything from acquisition and entitlements through design, construction, and delivery.

With a background in architecture and a Master’s in Real Estate Development from Columbia University, Lou brings an owner’s perspective to turning opportunities into executable development strategies.

Denisse Hudock, AIA

Founder - Architecture + Design

Denisse is a problem-solver by nature and an architect by choice. With nearly 20 years of experience, she has helped shape high-rise towers, mixed-use districts, and bespoke residential environments alongside leading firms and developers.

Driven by the belief that great design is both intentional and deeply human, her work balances technical rigor with meaningful design.

Her approach combines design vision with technical rigor, ensuring that creative ambition remains aligned with entitlement, budget, constructability and delivery.

Jeff Scott

Founder - Construction

Jeff is a builder at his core, starting his career as a framing contractor more than 30 years ago before earning a degree in Construction Management from the University of Washington.

Over the past decade, he has focused on urban infill development, delivering a wide range of projects.

Known for his ability to build and lead strong teams, Jeff combines hands-on experience with disciplined execution. He brings a practical, solutions-oriented mindset to every project.

Three disciplines. One ownership mindset.

Development, design, and construction working together from the beginning - not handed off from one to the next.

  • CANVAS partners with landowners, investors and capital partners to structure and execute development opportunities, bringing development expertise, integrated execution and aligned sponsorship to the partnership.
