Career Overview of Jeff Furman

With an impressive career spanning over 20 years in the multifamily housing sector, Furman is poised to make a significant impact at Aventon. He brings a wealth of experience, having played a pivotal role in the development of more than 10,000 Class A multifamily units and overseeing over 2 million square feet of mixed-use retail and office space across the Southeastern United States. Prior to joining Aventon, Furman served as Development Partner and Director of Raleigh Operations at Northwood Ravin for 14 years and held the position of Director of Development at Crosland, LLC.
