Aventon Companies Names Jeff Furman as Senior Managing Director

The Multifamily Industry Expert Will Oversee the Firm's North Carolina Operations

RALEIGH, N.C., March 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Aventon Companies, a prominent multifamily developer and general contractor with active projects throughout the Mid-Atlantic and Southeast, announces the addition of Jeff Furman as Senior Managing Director. Furman, who has more than 20 years of experience in the multifamily sector, will focus on Aventon Companies' fast-paced growth throughout North Carolina where he will acquire new sites for suburban apartment communities while managing existing developments.

Furman, who has built a long and storied career in the state, will concentrate on the Raleigh-Durham and greater Charlotte metro areas in his new role. Before joining Aventon Companies, he led teams that developed over 10,000 Class A multifamily units and over 2,000,000 square feet of mixed-use retail and office space across the Southeastern U.S. Most recently, Furman spent 14 years as the Development Partner and Director of Raleigh Operations at Northwood Ravin. Prior to that, he served as Director of Development for Crosland, LLC.

"It has been incredible to witness the continued development that Aventon Companies has made in filling the need for critical housing shortages in booming metro areas," said Furman. "As Raleigh-Durham and Charlotte continue to attract new residents, I look forward to managing our teams to help meet that demand."

Highly educated, Furman graduated from the University of Texas at Austin with a Master of Science in Civil Engineering. He also holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Civil Engineering from North Carolina State University. He is a licensed Professional Engineer of North Carolina (PENC) as well as a North Carolina real estate broker-in-charge (BIC). Notably, Furman also spent part of his career in the United States Navy, serving as an active-duty officer for seven years.

"Jeff possesses an incredible, in-depth knowledge of North Carolina's multi-family real estate industry with the innovation and creativity to match," said Tom Keady, Chairman and CEO of Aventon Companies. "We are confident that under his leadership, we will continue to meet our goals of creating more Aventon communities within the state."

Most recently, Aventon Companies debuted Aventon Cary, a 293-unit property in the city of Cary in 2024. The community followed the 372-unit Aventon Nora, located in Raleigh, which opened its doors in 2023. Another new 346-unit north Raleigh community will break ground in May 2024. In addition to North Carolina, Aventon Companies has created nearly 9,000 Aventon-branded apartment homes across Florida, Georgia, South Carolina and the Mid-Atlantic since 2019.
