I wanted to take a moment and provide a reference for Sessions Development. I have worked with Jason Sessions dating back to around 2006 when I was with Toll Brothers. We purchased finished lots in a master planned community where Jason was the master developer. This community had multiple amenity centes, CDD (A and B Bonds) and myriad of off-site requirements. Perhaps the most important item of note was the community withstood the downturn of 2008 well and built out into a very nice community.

I later worked with Jason when I owned my own smaller local homebuilding company in 2016. In this capacity Jason turned around a direction less asset in Rivertown for Mattamy Homes. Rivertown is an enormous master plan consisting parks (passive and active), very intricate amenities, docks, green spaces and on and on. It was impressive to watch him adapt to the market and pivot with lot sizes and programming that made the most sense to maximize the asset.

Currently in my role as SVP at KB Home, Jason is consulting on four communities. Jason’s role is to quarterback these communities to ensure that we stay on time and on budget with entitlements, bidding, and development. As part of that process he is also looking at areas of concern and/or opportunity.

Jason is certainly set up to take on more opportunities. He is a person that can be trusted to act as an owner even when he is not.

This letter is to recommend the services of Jason Sessions with Sessions Development for your project.

I have worked with Jason over the course of the last 15 years. In the late 2000’s, Jason was responsible for the entitlement, development and management of the builder program for Durbin Crossing, one of the largest Master-Planned communities in Jacksonville. The community was complex from a development perspective and Jason had to manage both private and public finance issues, building multiple amenity complexes and dealing with significant roadway and traffic issues. As the nation’s largest privately held homebuilder we purchased finished lots from Jason over the course of several years. He consistently delivered those lots on time and on budget.

I then watched Jason do a phenomenal job of turning around Rivertown, another large-scale master planned community that his group took over from the original master developer. We built homes in that community as well. Jason had to re-tool the amenities, lot offerings, product, and builder program to meet the market and he did so with great success.

Moreover, Jason is dedicated to his industry. He chaired the community development product council for Florida for the Urban Land Institute and reached out to me to be a member of that council. As a result of that involvement, I’m now proud to not only consider Jason a bright, hard­working colleague but also a friend. I’ve seen first-hand his indefatigable energy and passion for the business as well as his compassion for others.

I recommend him without hesitation or qualification.
