Affiliated Development (“Affiliated”) is a national real estate development and investment company headquartered in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, with offices in West Palm Beach. Affiliated Development was formed with the ultimate goal of creating, fostering, and preserving affordable housing for low, moderate, and middle-income individuals and families in cost-burdened communities. We generally target underserved areas of the community and work to improve the quality, safety, and sustainability of housing stock for the area’s residents. Our team has a track record of partnering with government agencies, community organizations and nonprofits. We have extensive experience in private and public finance, including: TIF, TID, NID, LIHTC, tax exempt bond finance, HUD finance, CRA lending, agency finance, CMBS and local municipal finance. The company's pioneering efforts have reshaped communities and resulted in over $750m of investment nationwide. Affiliated was founded in 1982 by Les Burns, originally under the name Burns & Company, and recently celebrated its 35th year in the real estate business. In 2016, Jeff Burns, the company's CEO, partnered with Nick Rojo to re-brand the company under its current name, Affiliated, and to implement additional platforms to help spur the business’s future growth and diversity. Although the company name has changed and evolved over the years, Affiliated’s leaders have preserved the original core philosophy of developing and maintaining longstanding relationships through hard work, vision, and integrity.
