  • Jaebadiah Gardner

    Jaebadiah is focused on creating intentional, culturally responsive projects that address the housing crisis and provide affordable and workforce living opportunities in urban villages. He is also focused on closing the egregious wealth gap that exists by using real estate development as a vehicle to give those who would not otherwise have the opportunity to invest, access or participate on projects an opportunity to build their portfolios.

    GardnerGlobal currently controls a pipeline of 174,000 SF of developable land in Seattle, WA in the Central District, Rainier Valley and Skyway neighborhoods. The pipeline will create 600+ units of housing with over 20-30% affordable units that he intends to develop over the next 5-10 years.

  • Mike Rooney

    Mike Rooney has over 25 years of multifamily real estate experience in the Puget Sound market; currently as Managing Partner of Rooney Partners, a real estate development firm (2021-Current) and previously as Executive Director of Mt. Baker Housing (MBH), an affordable housing development company (2008-2021).

    While at MBH, Mike grew the organization from one employee to a team of sixteen people. During Mike's tenure at MBH, he nearly tripled the real estate portfolio by completing multiple apartment building acquisitions and expanded the development pipeline to 1200 units of affordable housing totaling over a half a billion dollars in total development cost. This includes six ambitious new construction projects each having over 200 units of affordable housing.
