About Us

We are a vertically integrated investment, development, construction, and asset-management firm focused on acquiring, renovating, and operating multifamily properties across the Midwest. With a portfolio of 5,500+ units and a track record of developing or repositioning tens of thousands of apartment homes through value-add renovations, our goal is to transform underserved assets into thriving communities.

As a lean, dynamic team of entrepreneurial real-estate professionals, we move quickly when we find the right opportunities and we rely on construction leadership to deliver quality renovation work on time and on budget.

Key Objectives

As Director of Construction, you will lead all construction and renovation efforts across our multifamily portfolio from acquisitions & pre-development through renovation, lease up and longterm operations. You will ensure quality, cost control, on time delivery, and scaled execution across multiple markets and properties.

Core Responsibilities

• Oversee all phases of construction and renovation projects across the portfolio — including acquisition due diligence, pre-construction planning, procurement, renovation scheduling, execution, and close‑out.
• Manage the construction team (internal staff + third-party contractors), ensuring adherence to project budgets, timelines, quality standards, and safety/compliance requirements.
• Collaborate with acquisitions, asset management, and property management teams to assess potential acquisitions, forecast renovation budgets, and ensure alignment with investment and business objectives.
• Develop and enforce effective project controls: budgets, cost tracking, change‑order management, schedule tracking, procurement pipelines, and vendor/subcontractor management.
• Implement standardized renovation and construction workflows across markets to ensure consistency and scalability as the portfolio grows.
• Perform regular site visits, inspections, and quality assurance audits to ensure work meets design specifications and company standards; issue reports and corrective actions as needed.
• Facilitate communication among stakeholders — internal leadership, investors, property managers, contractors, and third‑party vendors — to support smooth execution and successful project delivery.
• Support strategic growth by identifying opportunities for operational efficiencies, cost savings, and process improvements across construction operations.

• Proven leadership and team‑management skills, with experience coordinating with acquisitions, asset management, and property management teams.
