Paramount Builders hero
Jarred at desk
Real estate has been my passion since I was 17—long before I ever raised capital or managed assets. Over the past 18+ years, my partners and I have built a vertically integrated platform spanning development, construction, and real estate across the Midwest.

That platform includes companies like Paramount Development Group, Paramount Builders, Paramount Real Estate, Axis Concrete, and others—all aligned around one mission: creating long-term value through disciplined execution and operational control.
Jarred in office
Today, I focus on value-add and ground-up multifamily, commercial redevelopment, and stabilized income-producing assets in low-volatility markets like North Dakota and Montana—regions often overlooked, yet backed by steady job growth, rent pressure, and minimal new supply.

My background includes:
- Structuring joint ventures and raising private capital
- Executing off-market acquisitions in niche, underserved markets
- Scaling construction and development teams with in-house control
- Driving asset performance through operational discipline (e.g., taking a self-storage facility from $1.8M to $3.6M)

We invest where fundamentals are strong, volatility is low, and returns are driven by cash flow—not market speculation.

My Values in Life

I take full responsibility for everything I build—from the dirt to the doors. I don’t pass the buck or wait for permission. Whether it’s a jobsite, a deal, or a decision, I own the outcome and expect the same from those I work with.

Ownership and Accountability

I take full responsibility for everything I build—from the dirt to the doors. I don’t pass the buck or wait for permission. Whether it’s a jobsite, a deal, or a decision, I own the outcome and expect the same from those I work with.

Grit and Perseverance

I value resilience over comfort. I’ve built through challenges that tested my patience and resolve, and I’ve learned that progress isn’t always glamorous. It’s earned through consistency, discipline, and showing up when others stop.

Integrity and Trust

I don’t cut corners or sell hype. Every handshake, every investor update, and every project reflects my name—and that means something to me. I operate with transparency and keep my word, even when it’s inconvenient or costly.

Over the past 18 years, I’ve built and led a vertically integrated group of companies that operate across every stage of real estate — from construction and development to management and investment.
What started with my partner Scott and me swinging hammers on small job sites has grown into a full ecosystem including Paramount Builders, Paramount Development Group, Paramount Real Estate, Axis Concrete, Altura Exteriors, and Envision Pools & Outdoor Living. This structure gives us control over quality, cost, and execution—allowing us to move with speed and precision from concept to completion.

My work has spanned multifamily, mixed-use, and value-add projects across North Dakota and Montana—markets where steady demand meets overlooked opportunity. I’ve led developments such as the 36-unit Mandan value-add hold, the 30-unit Divide repositioning, and the 52-unit Trestle mixed-use infill. Each project reflects disciplined underwriting, operational excellence, and consistent investor returns, typically targeting 6–10% annual cash-on-cash, ~15% IRR, and 1.8x equity multiples.
What I’m most proud of, though, is how our projects strengthen communities and create lasting impact. By aligning construction, management, and investment under one roof, we’ve delivered not just strong returns—but quality housing, local job creation, and long-term value that endures. My journey has been built on grit, clarity, and teamwork—and the belief that when you do things the right way, results follow.

Ventures I’ve Built

I’ve spent my career building an ecosystem of companies that connect the full lifecycle of real estate — from dirt to doors. Each venture was created to solve a problem I’ve experienced firsthand: lack of control, poor coordination, and wasted opportunity. By aligning construction, management, and investment under one roof, we’ve built something rare — a structure that runs on trust, precision, and long-term thinking.
