Harvard Investments has promoted Roger Theis to vice president of Harvard Communities, a leadership role overseeing the company’s master-planned community and land development operations.
Mr. Theis will lead strategy, execution and growth initiatives across Harvard Investments’ residential development platform, according to a press release.
“We believe that with Roger’s knowledge and passion, he will be an important part of the unifying vision we have for our portfolio of planned communities and land acquisitions,” Tim Brislin, president of Harvard Investments, said. “As our portfolio continues to expand, this role helps assure we have a united vision for our growth and continue to create thoughtfully planned communities.”
Harvard Communities encompasses the company’s master-planned communities and land acquisition investments. Current projects include Estrella and Solstice Foothills in Goodyear, Legends in Casa Grande and Mariposa in Rio Rancho, New Mexico.
Harvard Investments operates through two primary business platforms: Harvard Communities, which focuses on master-planned communities and land investments, and Harvard FirstStreet, which develops and owns build-to-rent communities.
The company said its development pipeline includes large-scale residential communities, build-to-rent neighborhoods and industrial development opportunities.
“This is an exciting moment for Harvard,” Mr. Brislin said. “Roger, as the leader of our Communities division, is a key component to aligning our team for long term growth and success.”
