• Development Track Record: A documented history of successfully sourcing, financing, and delivering high-density, market-rate multifamily projects.
• Financial Acumen: Advanced understanding of complex capital stacks, including experience interfacing with institutional-grade equity partners and family offices.

• Execution Excellence: Proven ability to navigate the complexities of urban zoning, entitlements, and public-private negotiations to move a project from concept to stabilized asset.
