David and I share the same vision for the company, and I am excited about the opportunity to work in partnership with him. Our combined forces will provide the company with the additional firepower needed to reach our next stage of growth.”

His valuable combination of deep real estate knowledge, operating experience, and capital markets expertise makes him best suited as CEO to take the company to the next level of growth,” added David Manshoory.
