The Art and Math of the Deal

Whether it is for investment and development or leasing and management, the Jaz equation for a great deal is the property + the people + the numbers. David Oliver’s experience in and constant focus on each of these areas is what makes his deals work – it is the combination of creativity, sensitivity, ethics and a laser-sharp pencil that create and sustain a successful deal.

Property

It’s not just about the property as it is – it is about creating and executing a vision that realizes value potential of the property.

People

Relationships and reputation are paramount – each person involved in a deal is an important part of the equation and must be treated well.

Numbers

We focus on adding value. You can have great vision, be creative, even execute beautifully – but the numbers still must work

Meet Our Founder

David J. Oliver

President

David Oliver formed Jaz Development, LLC in 2008 after spending nearly a quarter century - and three distinct booming and distressed market cycles – analyzing, procuring, investing in, building, leasing and managing commercial real estate.

He spent 16 years with the Stafford Properties, Inc., serving as its President from 2002 until he resigned in 2008 to pursue his own development and management company, Jaz. With Stafford Properties since its inception in 1992, Oliver was involved in all aspects of real estate management, leasing and development and helped grow the portfolio to over $300 million in value and three million square feet. The real estate holding and management company developed and acquired properties in seven states. Recent projects include the development of commercial land, shopping centers, retail build-to-suit, and mixed-use projects.

Prior to joining Stafford, Oliver was a leasing and development manager for Crim & Associates developing 20 unanchored specialty retail centers from 1985 - 1992. It was at Crim where he learned leasing and negotiation, signing more than 50 leases per year and being an Atlanta Board of Realtors top ten producer.

Mr. Oliver is an active member of the International Council of Shopping Centers (ICSC), the Urban Land Institute (ULI), a Certified Commercial Investment Member (CCIM), and a member of the Atlanta Commercial Board of Realtors (ACBR). He has been a member of the ACBR Million Dollar Club every year since 1985, receiving the Phoenix Award in 1997. He is a 1984 graduate of Georgia Tech with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Industrial Management and resides in Atlanta with his wife and children.
