With experience in strategic planning and business development, I founded Walls Property Group in 2010, where I focus on multi-family and commercial property renovation and new construction for the Seattle area. Before this company, I was also Principal and Founder of Walls Property Management, specializing in Real Estate Development and Property Management. My entrepreneurial spirit, combined with my many years of experience, have made me an expert on asset management, with a portfolio of over 40 buildings and a rapidly growing portfolio of third-party property management buildings.
My academic background includes a BA with a double major in Economics and English from Colgate University. I worked in Manhattan for two Investment Banks after college, before joining my father in the family real estate business. He retired in 2008 after we completed a 44-unit podium style mixed-use building.
My focus on multifamily renovations is increasing affordability options to residents by adding density and utility within the existing footprint of the building; I’m currently working on three renovation projects. On the ground-up side, I’m currenting the in the framing stage on a 61 unit market-rate project on Capitol Hill and in permitting on a 59 unit SEDU site in Ballard.
I frequently syndicate the ownership of projects and am actively growing the third-party party management business within the Seattle area to further enhance the economies of scale that come with a narrow geographic concentration.
