Abstract:
In this presentation, URS and Baker alumnus James Eisenberg (B.S. URS ’96, M.P.S. RE ’02) shares what drove him to join Urban American, an industry-leading multifamily platform that is vertically integrated from property management to institutional-level asset and portfolio management. The company began with the desire to bring best-in-class operations and management to traditionally underserved communities in aging asset classes. Since 1997, Urban American has invested, owned, and operated more than 22,000 units of residential multifamily housing in the NYC and Denver metro areas as well as West Texas. Most of these projects have involved renovating and preserving prewar multifamily buildings. Eisenberg will share projects, including those in El Paso, Texas, and experiences working with diverse communities. CRP Professor Sara Bronin, a seventh-generation Texan who will imminently serve as President Biden’s appointed Chairman of the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation, will serve as a discussant for the presentation.
