Started in 1995, we created Wendover with the goal of building housing where families could put down roots, workers could find respite and individuals could experience community. For almost 30 years, we’ve provided professional services for investors and community housing developers across the Southeastern U.S. as well as facilitated relationships between community partners and private companies.

Our Actions for a Sustainable Future

Every Wendover community is designed with the future in mind. We go to great lengths to ensure that what we build is not only made to serve our residents but that we are also preserving the environment that serves us.

Energy Efficiency

We focus on building energy efficient buildings to reduce our overall energy demand and carbon footprint from the start.

Our design and construction teams work together to ensure buildings are tight while balancing the air changes needed for a healthy indoor environment.

Our homes and apartments use Energy Star appliances, lighting, water heaters, windows, and ceiling fans. The heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems are a minimum SEER 15, and the air conditioning ducts are insulated and sealed to be leak free.

The energy performances range from 13.2% to 42.5%—lower than the Florida Energy Code requirements.

And as a result, our tenants experience lower monthly energy bills, too. It’s a win-win for the environment and our residents.

Health and Wellness

The health and wellness of the people who spend time in our communities plays a major role in the materials we choose and the spaces that we create.

By focusing on the design and construction of our housing developments, we aim to improve the comfort and well-being of our residents and employees. That’s why we only use low emitting products for interior finishes such as low Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) paint, GreenGuard Insulation, and Carpet and Rug Institute certified padding and carpets.

Plus, our communities offer indoor and outdoor amenities that are designed to enhance the quality of life like community gardens, bicycle storage, walking paths, gathering spaces and so much more.

Water Conservation

By prioritizing the conservation of water in our communities through installing high performance, low flow fixtures and water-saving appliances we are not only preserving one of our most valuable resources but also saving our residents money on their monthly energy bill.

Green Building Certification

All new construction projects are third party certified by the Florida Green Building Coalition (FGBC).

Recycling

Approximately one third of all waste comes from the construction and demolition industry. In order to minimize our waste contribution, we use recycling waste haulers during our construction process which, on average, helps divert 80% of the construction waste from the landfill.

We also make sure our residents have the ability to lower their personal waste output by providing recycling services in supporting locations.

We aim to improve the lives of our employees, customers, and those in our communities by standing with global movements such as Unicef and the Special Olympics. In turn, this brings out the best in us, inspires hope in others, and empowers all to believe in a better future.

Jonathan L. Wolf

Founder and CEO

Jonathan L. Wolf is the Founder and CEO of Wendover Housing Partners LLC, a Florida-based, privately held real estate development, investment, and management company specializing in the creation of fully connected communities. Wolf oversees Wendover Housing Partners’ portfolio of affordable and market-rate multi-family communities, senior housing, transit-oriented communities, and student housing, as well as Wendover Management’s full-service property management.

Wolf founded Wendover Housing Partners in 1995 after a career in finance that included roles at Chase Manhattan Bank and Citigroup in New York. From a standing start, he grew Wendover into one of the Southeastern U.S.’s premier multi-family housing developers, responsible for developments worth more than $1 billion and providing significant new housing stock tailored to economically and socially diverse neighborhoods. For Jonathan, the key metric of success is an affirmative answer to the question, “Will this community improve the daily lives of its residents?”

Jonathan works to not only build communities, but also to build consensus around the need for affordable housing growth and the public-private partnerships required to make it happen. Through this work, he has become a leading authority and frequent lecturer on the use of low-income housing tax credits (LIHTC) and other financing mechanisms that help address America’s affordable housing shortage. Most recently, Wendover has been the driving force behind Catchlight Crossings, a first-of-its-kind 1,000-unit affordable housing community being built with Universal Parks & Resorts.

Already described as a “landmark” that promises to reshape Orange County’s housing landscape, Catchlight is setting a new standard when it comes to affordable housing and provides a model that Jonathan hopes to be replicated – from the unique public-private partnership that made it possible to the array of services, amenities, and transit options available to residents.

Along with his wife Nancy, Jonathan supports several local, national, and global philanthropic causes. In 2021, the Wolfs helped facilitate a historic collaboration between the Orlando Museum of Art and The American University in Cairo (AUC), where Jonathan serves on the board. Featuring works by 21 U.S.-based artists of Arab and Iranian heritage, it was one of the few simultaneous art exhibitions across a Middle Eastern cultural institution and a U.S. Museum. The Wolfs also forged a partnership between the University of Central Florida and AUC in April 2018, paving the way for the Nancy and Jonathan Wolf Global Academic Initiative. This reciprocal study-abroad agreement reflects the Wolfs’ belief that the cross-cultural dialog between these universities will foster a greater understanding of the dynamics of the Middle East. In 2023, the Wolfs were recognized with the University of Central Florida’s Global Leadership Award.

Wolf also serves on several charitable, educational, and civic boards. He has helped secure state funding for Florida’s independent colleges and universities; a Special Olympics Florida headquarters and training facility and has been active in the ground-up development of an Orlando-based Holocaust Museum. The Holocaust Memorial Resource and Education Center of Florida recently recognized Jonathan and Nancy with the Tess Wise White Rose Award for their generosity and work to foster inclusive communities, free from prejudice and bigotry.

Jonathan is a graduate of Georgetown University’s School of Foreign Service. He and Nancy have two children and two grandchildren (so far).
