A proven leader in multifamily and mixed-use projects across the Southeast, Hooper has built a reputation for driving exceptional results through strategic vision, disciplined financial analysis, and deep market insight. In his new role, he will oversee development strategy and execution for RISE’s growing portfolio, advancing the company’s mission to create meaningful communities that elevate the resident experience and deliver long-term value for investors and partners.

Hooper joins RISE following senior leadership roles in both investment sales and development.

Before transitioning to real estate development, Hooper began his career in the financial sector with firms including Morgan Stanley and Janney Montgomery Scott, managing portfolios for high-net-worth and institutional clients. This foundation in finance continues to shape his analytical and strategic approach to development that focuses on investor returns.
