Meet the Host
My name is Joanna Jane
Welcome to Before You Build, the show dedicated to sharing the essentials you should know before you pick up the hammer and nail for your real estate development to be a catalyst for positive change in our communities. I'm your host, Joanna Jane, and Founder of O’Hara Development Partners. I'm deeply committed to the intersection of real estate and community development.
With a background in finance, social work, real estate development, workforce development, and community development, I've witnessed firsthand the transformative power of real estate projects in shaping the places we call home. From personal development projects, I’ve seen a thought of “what if?” transform into an answer for a neighborhood. My passion for creating vibrant, inclusive, and sustainable communities has been the driving force behind this podcast.
"I'm excited to bring you engaging conversations and insights from a diverse array of experts, developers, urban planners, and community leaders."
