Wood Partners Expands Leadership in Atlanta to Enhance Development Efforts

Wood Partners Welcomes Marc Brambrut as New Managing Director

In a strategic move to bolster its operations within the Atlanta region, multifamily real estate leader Wood Partners has announced the appointment of Marc Brambrut as Managing Director. This key addition aims to enhance the company's capacity for sourcing, financing, and developing multifamily and mixed-use projects across Georgia. The announcement, made on December 15, 2025, signals Wood Partners' commitment to expanding its footprint in the local market.

Bennett Sands, Executive Managing Director at Wood Partners, expressed his confidence in the Atlanta market's potential, highlighting the ongoing demand for well-designed, high-quality multifamily developments. “Adding Marc to the team allows us to pursue new opportunities, deepen partnerships, and advance a pipeline that will play an important role in our growth,” Sands noted, emphasizing the critical role of leadership in navigating the evolving landscape of real estate development.

In his new role, Brambrut will steer the local team in developing strategic initiatives, taking projects from the conceptual stage through to completion. His extensive background in multifamily development positions him well to contribute significantly to Wood Partners’ ongoing and future projects. “I’m looking forward to contributing my experience to a team that values thoughtful, community-driven developments,” Brambrut stated.

Before joining Wood Partners, Brambrut was the Senior Vice President of Development at Portman Residential, where he played a key role in shaping the firm's multifamily development strategy. His career includes high-level positions at Fairfield Residential and Novare Group, through which he oversaw the development of over 11,000 apartments and condominiums across the United States. This wealth of experience provides Brambrut with the insights needed to navigate the challenges of multifamily development in a competitive market.

Brambrut holds a master's degree in Real Estate Finance and Development from Johns Hopkins University and a bachelor's degree from the University of Georgia, which highlight his academic foundation supporting his professional achievements.

Wood Partners has remained a notable player in the multifamily sector throughout 2025. The firm recently announced a minority investment stake of 19.5% by a subsidiary of ITOCHU Corporation, signaling investors' confidence in Wood Partners' growth strategy as it prepares for the future.

Operating from Atlanta, Wood Partners has established itself as a leader in the development and construction of multifamily communities nationwide, having acquired and developed more than 115,000 multifamily homes with a total capitalization of $24 billion. With more than 80 properties and approximately 25,000 homes under its management, the company is consistently ranked among the top five multifamily developers in the country.

As Wood Partners continues to expand into new markets and pursue innovative development projects, the addition of Brambrut is set to enhance its ability to create housing solutions that cater to the diverse needs of communities across Georgia.
