Can a general contractor become real estate developer?

I am currently looking forward to making a career out of construction by becoming a carpenter and starting my own construction company years from now. 

As a GC, since they work closely with developers, would a developer that you've worked with on a project or "projects" consider a JV with a GC?

I understand construction is much different than developing but I've often wondered if GC's transition into a property developer later on in their careers.
