DALLAS—JPI is adding to its local leadership team.

The national developer, builder and investment manager of class A multifamily assets, has named Scott Langley as asset manager and Blake Taylor as development associate. The two executives are based in the Dallas office and are among the growing number of employees in JPI's offices in Texas, Arizona and California.

"JPI is continuing to expand its portfolio," Matt Brendel, JPI partner and senior vice president told GlobeSt.com. "We expect to grow to more than 3,700 apartment homes in Texas by year-end and as a result, we continue to invest in local talent. Scott and Blake have the proven leadership skills and expertise needed to develop and maintain JPI's rapidly increasing class A multifamily development activity."

Langley will oversee all asset management activities in the central region. He joined JPI in January with more than 10 years of multifamily experience. Prior to joining the company, Langley served as a development manager for SNK Realty Group where he was responsible for management of $300 million in new development. 

Taylor was promoted to development associate. Since 2014, he has played a key supporting role with JPI as an investment analyst, says the firm, handling underwriting, market research and deal analysis. In his new role, Taylor is responsible for acquisition, development and asset management activities for the central region.
