Woodmont Properties, an owner, developer and manager of multifamily and industrial properties, on Tuesday said it appointed Jon Moore as co-chief investment officer and principal of Woodmont Value-Add Partners, a newly formed division focused on the acquisition of existing value-add multifamily rental properties.
With over 30 years of experience in real estate finance, Moore is recognized for his transformative leadership in the industry. In his new role, Moore will work alongside Woodmont’s executive team as well as co-chief Investment Officer David Trager, who is preparing to retire at the end of 2025.
Together, the duo will be integral to Woodmont’s investment strategy, capital raising, acquisitions and investor relations and help shape the company’s strategic vision, driving long-term growth and innovation.
“As we strengthen our operations and position Woodmont for future success, we’re pleased to welcome Jon to our team,” Eric Witmondt, Woodmont’s Chief Executive Officer, said. “Jon’s proven track record and multifaceted expertise will immediately enhance key areas of our business, making a lasting impact on our project pipeline and expansion efforts.”
Before joining Woodmont, Moore served as President of Urby, a joint venture between Brookfield and Urby Management, where he led the company’s growth from three assets in the Northeast into a nationally recognized platform with a diversified geographic and capital base.
He also spent over a decade at Brookfield Properties as Chief Investment Officer for its multifamily group and mixed-use development business, overseeing more than $40 billion in transactions.
Moore is currently an advisor to Ori Systems, a Khosla Ventures and Google VC portfolio company, and a member of Urban Land Institute’s Multifamily Council and the National Multifamily Housing Council. He served on the Investment Committees and Board of Directors for Fairfield Residential and its three value-add funds, as well as the Board of Advisors for New York University’s Furman Center for Housing.
