What does it actually take to deliver a multifamily development from groundbreaking to ribbon cutting? In this episode, Mitch Ferraro sits down with EJ Herr, F Street's Director of Project Delivery—the man responsible for making sure every multifamily project comes in on time and on budget.

EJ pulls back the curtain on the construction side of real estate development, including:

The Role:
• How EJ serves as the "conduit" between F Street, investors, architects, engineers, municipalities, and general contractors
• Why he joined F Street in fall 2021 and hit the ground running on day one

The Projects:
• Lakeshore Commons (Oak Creek) – Phase 1 with horizontal infrastructure, single-family homes, townhomes, and mid-rise multifamily
• The Emery (West Bend) – Completed fall 2025 with townhomes and garden-style apartments
• Village 43 (Brown Deer) – Completed November 2025, garden-style development
• Axis Apartments (West Allis) – Currently under construction, combining garden-style and four-story mid-rise

The Process:
• How we choose partners who are "the best at what they do"
• Building contingency into every budget (the "oh shit factor")
• Working with utility partners (WE Energies) and municipalities for water, sewer, and services
• Why trade partners and general contractors often become investors in our deals

The Wins:
• Every project delivered on time and on budget to date
• Investors becoming residents (the ultimate vote of confidence)
• The satisfaction of creating homes where people actually build their lives

If you've ever wondered how we go from land acquisition to a fully stabilized, cash-flowing asset, this conversation reveals the secret weapon behind the scenes.
