The Founder

Simi Khera

Founder & Principal, Khera Collective. A strategist with a designer’s eye and an owner’s discipline.

Simi sees what a place can become, then does the harder work of making it real.

For more than sixteen years, Simi has worked inside the business of building: structuring, negotiating, and administering construction and architect-engineering contracts at the institutional level. She knows how projects are scoped, procured, priced, and delivered — and exactly where they drift from the original intent.

Alongside that career, she has acquired, designed, and operates her own portfolio of residential properties, and has led concept and design direction for hospitality, retail, and lifestyle projects.

Khera Collective brings those worlds together. Simi approaches every project as an owner, developer, operator, and strategist at once — weighing profitability, scalability, time, and risk alongside the experience and the aesthetic.

She holds a degree in Business Finance from Georgia Southern University.

What She Brings

Three lenses, one direction.

01

The Strategist

Spotting undervalued assets and the highest and best use of a site, a space, or a brand — and the market story that makes it make sense.

02

The Designer

Concept, renderings, finish direction, lighting and ceiling intent — the details that make a space feel considered rather than assembled.

03

The Owner’s Advocate

Sixteen years of contracting and procurement discipline, applied on the owner’s side: scope, budget alignment, and protecting intent through delivery.

Values

Clarity. Taste. Restraint. Discernment. And the integrity of the concept, protected from first sketch to opening day.

Begin

Every strong concept starts with clarity.
