ABOUT PIRHL

PIRHL – The Partnership for Income Restricted Housing Leadership – is a Cleveland-based owner, developer and general contractor of affordable single family and multifamily housing. PIRHL is led by David Burg and David Uram, who began their housing development careers in Cleveland’s non-profit community and economic development industries. This experience furthered their own sensitivity to the needs and constraints of the non-profit clients they serve today. Burg and Uram, both MBAs from Case Western Reserve University’s Weatherhead School of Management, then spent years with an industry leading for-profit developer and builder of affordable housing, where they honed the development and financial expertise necessary to launch PIRHL.

In its first five years of operation, PIRHL secured $118 million in financing to develop 605 units of housing in Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Maryland. Prior to this experience, PIRHL’s management team had developed over 70 residential developments in several states.

PIRHL’s mission is to thoughtfully address America’s affordable housing crisis through the development, construction and ownership of high quality single-family and multifamily affordable housing. This type of housing is achieved most successfully at the nexus of the public, private and nonprofit sectors.

Thoughtfully addressing this crisis requires that new development remains viable over the long-term, both in terms of the quality of its construction, but also in the functionality and flexibility of its design. PIRHL underwrites each development to maximize long-term operational performance and selects its co-developers and general partners carefully. The Company works with some of the most highly-accomplished non-profit development partners in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Indiana, Virginia, Illinois and Maryland.

PIRHL’s construction arm is led by Jack Gore, a 30 year veteran of the construction industry. His work includes the construction of 2 million square feet of residential, commercial and mixed use space. Jack has overseen projects ranging from 3,000 to 325,000 square feet and up to $41,000,000 in value. He has led the construction of single family homes, townhome communities, 3-story mid-rise apartment buildings for independent seniors, multi-tenant office buildings, medical office buildings, suburban corporate centers, retail facilities, public libraries, primary and secondary schools, outdoor sport facilities, roadway and utility extensions, university dormitories, parking decks and the University of Akron’s (Ohio) Student Recreation Center and Field House.
