Over the past nine years, the JSB team has executed more than $10 billion in investments, including the acquisition of over 40,000 apartment units. Additionally, he has spearheaded various corporate and business development efforts and led strategic initiatives to introduce technology platforms to enhance operational efficiency. Prior to that, Selinger was Managing Director of Acquisitions at Vanbarton Group.

“I am excited to join the successful residential team of CBRE IM and look forward to growing the platform while delivering strong results for investors,” Selinger said. “I am inspired by the firm’s vision for expanding its investment management division, and I look forward to working with my new colleagues to help achieve these growth goals, including by harnessing CBRE IM’s unique ability to leverage CBRE’s vast resources to catalyze scalable, high-conviction investment strategies.”

Selinger earned a Master of Business Administration degree in real estate and finance from the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania and a Bachelor of Science degree from the Stern School of Business at New York University.
