Jordan’s addition marks a pivotal moment in the company’s continued growth and evolution. In this role, Jordan will lead LC’s investment strategy—navigating dynamic market conditions, identifying new opportunities, and securing the capital that fuels LC’s purpose-driven approach to real estate. He will work closely with Founder and CEO Michael DeAscentis Jr. and the Executive Committee, overseeing financing, equity capitalizations, and strategic investment partnerships.
“We’re entering an exciting next chapter for LC—one defined by purposeful growth and strengthened by the leaders who make it possible,” said Michael DeAscentis Jr., Founder and CEO. “Michael brings the experience, integrity, and perspective needed to guide our investments toward a future that reflects both our growth ambition and our belief in connection as the foundation of thriving communities.”

Prior to joining LC, he served as U.S. Multifamily Sector Head at GIC Real Estate in New York, overseeing investments and joint ventures with various operating partners, and domestic and international institutional investors. Over the course of his career, Jordan has led the investment of more than $5 billion in real estate and has developed strong relationships across the investment community.
The creation of the CIO role signals a logical progression for LC as the company expands its presence across key markets, including Nashville, Charleston, Raleigh-Durham, Columbus, and Austin, with Tampa and other markets on the horizon.
“I’m honored to join LC at such a pivotal moment for both the company and the multifamily sector,” said Michael Jordan, Chief Investment Officer. “When you visit an LC community, it’s immediately evident how differently we approach delivering and managing multifamily communities.
