Middleburg Adds Development Partners to Bolster Capabilities

Middleburg Communities, a developer of rental housing throughout the Southeast and Sunbelt, announced the appointment of three new development partners to increase its development capacity. Each partner is empowered to leverage the firm’s broad capabilities to oversee the firm’s development activity in each market where it operates.

“We remain very bullish on both our core markets throughout the Southeast, and the continued strength in rental housing fundamentals,” said Chris Finlay, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Middleburg. Middleburg’s newly added development partners include:

  • Ross Magette – Richmond. Magette joined Middleburg in September 2024 after more than seven years at FCP, where he rose from Associate to Senior Vice President of Development.
  • Tim McEachern – Tampa. McEachern, who previously served as Managing Director of Development for LIV Development, where he developed eleven luxury, class-A multifamily communities throughout Florida comprising 3,100 units, joined Middleburg in August 2024.
  • J. Spencer Merritt – Raleigh. Merritt’s multifamily development experience dates back to 2006. He joined Middleburg in September 2024 after spending four years at East West Partners, where he served as a Partner.
