Today, we have the pleasure of introducing Jillian Japka, the Development Manager at Third & Urban. She is a seasoned professional with a strong focus on mixed-use, multi-family, value-add, and emerging markets. Her expertise spans underwriting, entitlement, design development, and construction management. Furthermore, Jillian's passion for minimalist design is evident in her portfolio of over 300 published articles on minimalissimo.com. Her unique blend of architectural insight and development acumen has been pivotal in shaping noteworthy projects like Star Metals, which garnered significant attention for its transformative impact on West Midtown Atlanta.

In this discussion, we pull back the veil on community development to explore the potential of sustainable initiatives. We delve into the intricate process of aligning the diverse voices within design and construction teams to craft masterpieces. Additionally, Jillian graciously shares insights on her journey as a new mother and the promising prospects for women in the industry. Enjoy this insightful conversation!
