Jason Saunders
BHI Construction
Jason’s business model is a combination of real estate development and construction ventures focused on projects throughout the DMV region. Constructing a product that improves the sustainable performance of a building, the air quality, and overall efficiency not only provides a comfortable living space, but offers affordability for the tenant and profitability for the owner, creating a win-win experience for both.
The company’s portfolio includes a 39-unit luxury, affordable condominium. For this project, another floor was added to transform the penthouse level into unique duplexes with spiral staircases and rooftop decks. The firm also holds a 21-unit apartment building purchased with Department of Housing Community Development federal block grant funding.
BHI holds Class A general contracting licenses in D.C. and Virginia, and is CBE certified in D.C. Under Jason’s leadership, the company has completed more than 200 commercial and residential projects. Some projects of note are the Knollwood Military Retirement Community (ARMY DISTAFF), the Mount Olive Church, and a project for the Fulbright Organization.
An alumnus of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy New York, Jason holds an undergraduate and graduate degree in Mechanical Engineering. He is a member of Alpha Phi Alpha. Jason previously worked as Director of Recruitment and Training for Cendant Corporation, one of the largest owners of resorts in the world. At Exxon, he worked as a mechanical engineer. Jason hopes to acquire new insight on financing through equity funds and loan packages and expand his network.
