Project Strategy & Development Support
Strategic project support for custom home builders, multifamily developers, mixed-use projects, residential infill, and affordable housing teams—from land strategy and pre-development through early project execution.
Development moves fast. Projects lose momentum when communication breaks down, priorities become unclear, and no one is managing the details that keep everything moving. That's where I come in.
why this matters
Successful development requires more than a strong concept. Projects move through land evaluation, due diligence, design, financing, permitting, construction, and stakeholder coordination, often with multiple professionals involved at the same time.
My background combines commercial property management, land strategy, creative finance, capital relationships, and construction education, along with hands-on development management experience across active affordable housing projects, including capital stack coordination, investor due diligence, and closing readiness. I have also completed Construction Mastery training covering framing, electrical, plumbing, and final inspections, and I remain active in Atlanta's real estate and affordable housing community through organizations including the Women's Affordable Housing Network and the National Low Income Housing Coalition. I am based in Atlanta and support projects throughout Atlanta and surrounding communities within approximately 50 miles.
For select projects outside Georgia, I also provide remote Development Management, Owner’s Representation, pre-development coordination, and project support when the scope does not require continuous local presence.
Emerging developers seeking co-development opportunities, experienced development partners, or support navigating financial guaranty requirements are also encouraged to book a consultation.

I support clients who may already have an active development underway, or who are still determining the best path forward for a property or opportunity.

What I Help You Solve
Most development delays aren't caused by technical problems. They're caused by an item nobody owned, a document nobody could find, or a decision nobody realized was overdue, surfacing as an urgent question from a lender, investor, or agency instead of being caught internally first.
I help development teams identify what's needed, organize the moving parts, and close items before they become someone else's question.

Virtual development management and project coordination for teams working remotely or across multiple markets
Community engagement, project tours, development events, and stakeholder meetings
I do not replace your architect, engineer, attorney, tax-credit consultant, underwriter, lender, contractor, or other licensed professional. I work alongside the professionals involved in the project to help keep information, responsibilities, and next steps coordinated.
My role is to reduce communication gaps, improve organization, and support the development team as the project moves from concept through pre-development and into execution.
Engagements are contracted through my development company.
Why partners Work With Me
Development Perspective
I've worked across land acquisition, creative financing, construction, and active development projects involving tax credit equity, LIHTC, and tax-exempt bond financing, which means I can see how a decision in one area creates consequences in another, and flag it early.
Atlanta Presence
For developers based outside the market, I can provide Atlanta-area support through site visits, meetings, community engagement, consultant coordination, and on-the-ground follow-support.
Strategic Coordination
I help organize project information, maintain communication, track deliverables, and keep responsibilities visible so developers can remain focused on decisions and execution.
Project Team Gaps
When appropriate, I can help identify gaps in the project team and point clients toward the disciplines a project still needs, so the right professionals are engaged at the right stage.
Complimentary Project Fit Call
Let's Talk
A complimentary 30-minute call for developers, builders, investors, and project teams with active or near-term projects.
We'll cover where your project stands, who's already on the team, what's missing, and where coordination is breaking down. By the end, you'll know whether I can add value and whether a formal engagement makes sense.
How It Works
Complete the inquiry form below with your property, project stage, estimated budget, current team, location, and immediate needs. I review each submission and typically respond within one to two business days.
Engagements are scoped and priced following the initial conversation, and may be structured around a specific project phase, local representation, defined deliverables, or ongoing coordination. For Atlanta-area projects, this can include on-site visits, project tours, meetings, and community engagement.
I work selectively with development teams, so not every project will be the right fit.
My Perspective
Real estate development brings together finance, land, construction, government, and community. My goal is to support developers by helping keep projects organized, stakeholders aligned, and opportunities moving forward. As I continue expanding my work with custom home builders, multifamily developers, and affordable housing teams, I remain committed to learning, building relationships, and contributing where I can add meaningful value.

Atlanta Affordable Housing Week - @jenthecloser
This short recap highlights key moments from Atlanta’s Affordable Housing Week, including senior housing initiatives, mixed-income development strategies, and community-focused planning discussions.
During this event, I had the opportunity to hear directly from Mayor Andre Dickens and other city leaders on Atlanta’s current approach to housing, senior living, and long-term affordability.
I stay closely connected to Atlanta’s development landscape by attending select industry events, city-led housing talks, and community planning forums to remain aligned with local priorities and emerging opportunities for strategic collaboration.
