About Jacob W. Rice

I’m a passionate, approachable leader with over a decade of experience and more than $2 billion in cumulative budget oversight, focused on the strategic development of transformational, large-scale master-planned communities (MPCs). I thrive at the intersection of visionary planning and disciplined execution, consistently delivering results that align with both financial imperatives and the enduring needs of families and residents.Known for a methodical yet imaginative approach, I lead with integrity, grit, and an unwavering commitment to quality. My work centers on creating places that go beyond just great neighborhoods—they become destinations that foster connection, belonging, and long-term value. Whether driving complex entitlement processes or orchestrating multi-stakeholder collaborations, I bring a solutions-oriented mindset to every challenge, always keeping the broader community impact in focus.From blueprint to buildout, I champion a holistic development philosophy: one that balances financial performance, sustainable growth, and meaningful placemaking. I believe that great communities don’t just happen—they’re intentionally built with care, creativity, and purpose.
