As EYA, LLC celebrates its 30th year as Washington’s leading developer of urban and transit-oriented properties, it has expanded its commitment to multifamily development by adding Caren Garfield and Jim Reed to the team.
“We have completed numerous award-winning multifamily projects across the region, but never with a dedicated team,” said McLean Quinn, President and CEO, EYA. “Our commitment to expanding our multifamily development expertise with these key hires is part of a long-term strategy to fully leverage our residential, mixed-use and marketing acumen and to maximize the potential of our rapidly growing multifamily pipeline, which currently includes more than 2,500 units. Our new team members will enable us to execute on multiple concurrent projects so we can continue to deliver unique communities with diverse housing options and neighborhoods where people want to live. Expanding and investing in the multifamily side of our business is a key component of our strategic growth plan.”

In this new role, Caren drives EYA’s multifamily business plan and leads multidisciplinary teams in all phases of entitlement, development, construction, and asset management. She previously served as Director of Multifamily Development at Kimco Realty Corporation.
