JVM Realty, a multifamily real estate investment and property management firm based in Chicago, has hired Adam Short as its chief investment officer.  

In his new position, Short will be responsible for managing all aspects related to JVM’s capital needs and structure, including debt and equity. He will also direct the firm’s transaction team in identifying multifamily opportunities that align with JVM’s investment criteria. Additionally, Short will oversee the strategy and administration of JVM’s investment vehicles for its Midwest multifamily portfolio.

An industry veteran with nearly two decades of experience, Short brings extensive expertise in value-add and opportunistic strategies, along with a robust network of industry relationships and capital sources. Before joining JVM, Short served as chief investment officer at Golub & Company in Chicago, a vertically integrated developer, operator, and investor of multifamily, mixed-use, and commercial properties. During his 18 years at Golub & Company, Short built his real estate career, working his way up from his initial position as vice president of acquisitions to chief investment officer. 

Short will succeed Steve Meyer as JVM’s chief investment officer, while Meyer transitions into the role of senior advisor at JVM. Short and Meyer will collaborate closely to ensure a seamless transition for JVM and its valued stakeholders.
