About Us

The partners have been working together since the mid-2000s and formalized the partnership to bring construction, management, acquisition, and development services all under one roof.

Our Principles
Strategy
The strategy is simple: Conservative underwriting and real, dependable cash flow with a value add strategy. Every acquisition deal we do works with a going-in return with a plan to significantly boost revenue in the hold period, typically 5–10 years. Development projects are exhaustively analyzed with the intention to hold long term.
Integration
From the acquisition or the sourcing of the development site to the final disposition of the asset, every facet of the investment is handled in-house. Construction, supplies, insurance, property management, leasing & sales brokerage, and asset management are all handled by an affiliated group of companies owned by the principals and partners.
Experience
The principals at JDP have over 60 years of experience in real estate with a proven track record of success including 200+ transactions. JDP has completed 13 development projects and has developed, built, planned or acquired more than 6,700 units across six states.
Integrity
Our principals pride themselves in first and foremost serving their clients, investors, and tenants. Investors are treated fairly and are given honest and regular reporting and access. We value and respect people & relationships and always take the long-term view. Each of our investments and everyone involved with each deal reflects that mentality.
