• Real Estate
• 100 - 200 Employee

• President - Multifamily

  • Dec 2012 - Jul 2022

  At Preferred Apartment Communities (“PAC”), a publicly-traded REIT, I led a 40+ person team across a vertically integrated platform including acquisitions, mezzanine lending and preferred equity investments, ground-up development, property management and asset management. I also served as a Named Executive Officer of the REIT and a member of the Investment Committee. During my tenure, PAC grew from less than $250 million in assets to approximately $5.8 billion before being purchased by Blackstone Real Estate Income Trust in 2022. From 2012 through 2022, I oversaw the investments team in acquisition of approximately $3 billion in Class A multifamily assets across 60 communities, both through marketed offerings and off-market negotiations. Additionally, under my guidance, PAC structured mezzanine loan/preferred equity investments and purchase options for over $2.75 billion in multifamily development. I further established our ground-up development vertical, from strategy to personnel and processes, resulting in our first ground-breaking in 2022 and an active pipeline of deals in pre-development. My oversight of the Property Management and Asset Management divisions encompassed over 12,000 owned units as well as properties under construction within the mezzanine loan/preferred equity program. My focus included building a dedicated and complementary team, ensuring an accurate and timely budgeting process and leading a culture of “ownership” and continual improvement. In 2021, PAC achieved 7.2% same store YoY NOI growth, significantly outperforming the multifamily publicly traded REIT market.

My oversight of this complex project required coordination between three general contractors, two architects and two interior designers, and culminated in a challenging turnover process where I led over 20 professionals toward a successful opening.
