Jordan Selig

EVP

Martin Selig Real Estate

After graduating from Columbia University, Jordan started her career in Berlin, Germany, where she ecologically redeveloped prewar buildings. During that time, she started to see how her passion for sustainability could play a role in the future of real estate.

In 2013, Jordan returned to Seattle with the mission to join Martin Selig Real Estate (MSRE) and continue to build on decades of innovation. Jordan now acts as MSRE’s Executive Vice President and has overseen the development of over 1.5 million square feet of space so far, including MSRE’s first multifamily property, The Modern – a project she oversaw from vision to execution.

To diversify her impact in the Seattle region and beyond, in 2018 Jordan started J. Selig Real Estate (JSRE). The company is developing market-rate multifamily buildings that aim to deliver above-average yields to investors with properties that are a step above the competition in terms of architecture, design, management, and sustainability.

Jordan is deeply involved in the Seattle community and passionate about initiatives that enhance Seattle’s built environment and quality of life. She is a board member of the Seattle 2030 District, an organization that aims to dramatically reduce the environmental impacts of building construction and operations. She is also a board member for the Runstad Center for Real Estate at the University of Washington, and a member of the Downtown Seattle Association (DSA) Policy Committee.

Aside from her professional endeavors, Jordan is a wife and mom of two. In her free time, she enjoys skiing, yoga, cooking and travel. She is fluent in German & Swedish.

Summary

Seattle is blessed with cutting edge economic drivers few cities could dream of possessing. As an unprecedented pool of global talent earn their chops at the Amazons, Facebooks, Microsofts, Expedias etc. that define our professional landscape, what conditions, amenities and environments will these tech prodigies seek out when they go it alone? 

The next generation of innovations will likely come from the Puget Sound region. This is not another Silicon Valley, but a unique eco-system that goes about its office life very differently. It all starts with the built environment. Join us on July 25 for an ideologically diverse and visionary discussion on what that environment will comprise in the years to come.
