Wingspan Development Group has hired Mirela Vukovic as corporate property and asset manager, a newly created role. Vukovic will be responsible for managing and ensuring the financial strength of Wingspan’s national multifamily portfolio – including 1,500 completed paddy power casino reviewunits, 900 units under construction and 2,800 planned units – overseeing third-party management firms, ensuring resident satisfaction, controlling expenses and optimizing revenue.
Since its founding in 2016, Wingspan has executed a rapid growth strategy. The firm initially focused on suburban Chicago multifamily developments, but quickly expanded into Wisconsin and Florida with notable multifamily and mixed-use projects, drawing the interest of project partners like ABC Capital Corp., Citadel Property Advisors and Paddy PowerTucker Development. As the firm continues to scale up nationally and enter new markets, having an experienced property management leader will assure a smooth transition from construction completions through lease-up and stabilization, the company said.
“As we continue to identify and develop new projects across the country, it’s crucial to have someone with Mirela’s acumen on board,” said Chris Coleman, vice president of development for Wingspan. “Her experience with developers, owners and third-party management paddy power casino reviewfirms, as well as her front-line understanding of what tenants want and what properties need to operate smoothly, are all indispensable.”
Vukovic joins Wingspan with more than 20 years of experience in property and asset management. Most recently, she worked for 10 years for Morguard, a Canadian real estate company with $18.6 billion in assets owned and under management. There, she managed operations and financials for a portfolio of properties in Chicago and did front-line property management for the 848-unit Paddy Power CasinoAlta K Station apartment high-rise in Chicago’s Fulton Market neighborhood.
“My goal is to make sure our beautiful properties are presented in the best light, and that we provide the best possible customer service,” said Vukovic. “At the end of the day, we’re trying to create homes where residents want to be and where they feel comfortable, secure and supported.”
A resident of Mount Prospect, Ill., for 17 years, Vukovic was familiar with the growth of both Wingspan and its sister company Nicholas & Associates Paddy Power Casinowhen she decided to join the highly regarded firm. “With Wingspan’s continued expansion, this seems like a perfect inflection point to join their team,” she said. “Our goal is to set an industry-leading standard and ensure all of our properties live up to the reputation of the Wingspan and Nicholas brands, wherever they are located.”
