Housing For All
Addressing Housing Inequality

Our Services
In Addition to Sponsored Investments, Jair Lynch Offers:
Advisory & Owner’s Representation
As a real estate consultancy firm, developer, and investor, Jair Lynch provides a full suite of consulting and advisory services, focusing on strategic planning, acquisitions, community engagement, and development. As owner’s representatives and owner’s advisors, we support a diverse clientele including landowners, investors, public entities, nonprofits and other businesses, guiding projects from conception to completion. Our expertise spans project feasibility, real estate portfolio analysis, master planning, capital renovations, and development. By integrating with your team and aligning with your mission, we ensure your projects are managed with precision. Jair Lynch is dedicated to achieving client goals while making a positive community impact, offering a partnership that leverages our comprehensive expertise for your success.
Development Management
Jair Lynch provides comprehensive development management services to a diverse range of clients, such as nonprofits, educational institutions, libraries, and health & life science organizations. Operating as fee developers and build-to-suit developers, we oversee every critical phase of development, from due diligence and land acquisition to project feasibility, financing, and entitlements, ensuring the successful completion of client projects. Our expertise in multifamily, office, retail, and special-purpose real estate enables us to adeptly manage negotiations, liaise with local governments, and tackle the complexities of acquisition and finance. This end-to-end approach is crucial for organizations requiring specialized facilities but lacking the internal capabilities to manage large-scale real estate developments. Together, we can help make your vision a reality.
Project
Management
At Jair Lynch, our project management services cover all phases of development, from project feasibility (including pre-lease or pre-acquisition due diligence as applicable), emphasizing meticulous planning and execution. Our proficiency in stakeholder negotiations, alongside selecting and negotiating contracts with design teams and construction managers, highlights our commitment to excellence. We streamline budget and schedule development, implement cost control, and apply rigorous risk management to ensure timely, on-budget project delivery. Our oversight extends from design and preconstruction to construction period management, including cost control, QA/QC, and owner vendor coordination. We also manage furniture, fixtures, and equipment procurement, MEP system commissioning, and project turnover, ensuring operational readiness from the outset, thus guaranteeing a comprehensive and seamless real estate development process.
