ORLANDO-Wood Partners has expanded its Specialty Housing Group in Orlando, Boca Raton and other Southeastern markets. With the expansion, Wood plans to put a heavier emphasis on affordable housing.

"The Specialty Housing Group has always been a part of the core of what Wood Partners does,” says Wood CEO Ryan L. Dearborn. "Expanding with local representatives gives us a better reach within specific markets and allows us to broaden our presence across the country.”

Wood operates 14 offices across the country in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Dallas, Denver, Houston and Phoenix, Atlanta, Boca Raton, Charlotte, Raleigh-Durham, Orlando, Boston, Baltimore and Washington D.C. These offices are divided into five regions—Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, South, Central and West—all of which will have a dedicated SHG team member for its projects.
