Tyler Development Corporation Reputed Californian development firm makes fantasy homes a reality by Elisa Revello In the land of beauty, glitz and glamour, where five-star luxury is standard and characters are larger than life, Tyler Development has been building custom dream homes throughout Los Angeles for over 30 years; from the hills of Bel Air to the coast of Montecito. After managing construction for developments in Southern California for ten years, Ron Udall founded his company in 1980––the year his son Tyler was born––forming his new venture around the core values of integrity, quality and professionalism.

Eight years ago, Tyler joined the ranks in the family business after attending his father’s alma mater, UCLA, where he majored in philosophy; an unlikely course of study for a future builder. Ron studied economics and though both the father and son’s education may have led elsewhere, they found themselves in a fortunate position. “My father and I both loved development and building high-end residential homes,” Tyler says. “And now that’s evolved into our sole focus and passion.” Since its establishment, Tyler Development has finished approximately 250 homes, now completing an average of seven homes per year. Throughout the course of their success, Ron has ensured the company’s integrity stayed intact. Their work includes all sizes of residential houses from relatively small to 40,000 square feet, with a recent influx of modern designs where there are more traditional touches. Each home is distinct and constructed with exquisite attention to detail. “Because of individual needs and the variety of materials available today, every project remains a prototype,” Tyler says. “Each project is unique.”
