Casey Land
Owner, Land Development & Building
Casey Land brings over 30 years of building and development experience to this new Carmel neighborhood concept. But it’s his passion and commitment to bring innovation to home building in Carmel and Indianapolis that sparked the idea for Inglenook’s sustainable underpinnings.
“If we can develop a more sustainable development and build greener homes without substantially more cost to the homeowner, why wouldn’t we? Nobody’s making us build a sustainable neighborhood. It’s just the right thing to do.”
Casey started his career under the watchful eye of his father, while working for his bridge building company. This early experience engrained in Casey the importance of being meticulous about every detail of construction. “What we do affects people’s lives and this is someone’s home for potentially the rest of their life.”
