Making Transition from Estimating at GC/CM to Real Estate Development?

Currently working at a GC/CM in estimating/purchasing. Been here for a few years but really have my eye towards working in more of a development type role. I wanted some direction on how long I should wait to try and make the jump as I hear oftentimes it is easy to get pigeonholed into a certain role. What would be the smoothest way to jump into the other side?
