Our Team
R. Ben Moore
Ben Moore began his tenure in the multifamily housing industry in 2000 when WMRA Ltd. began developing a 144 unit low income housing tax credit (LIHTC) property, today known as Highland Village Apartments in Longview Texas. What began as a simple book keeping task for the then new development project has today grown in to a multi -million dollar asset portfolio. In 2003 with the experience of four previous projects under his belt, Ben began working with Jerry Moore and Larry Paul Manley on what would become the single largest LIHTC development project in his career. With a total development budget of over $23 million, Ben quickly became involved in all areas of finance, design, development, construction, and management. This project was especially challenging to develop and manage as the funding sources came from a combination of tax exempt bonds, as well as low income housing tax credits. Management of all accounting, insurance, and coordination between sources and uses of funding during the 18 month development and build out stage of the project was his primary task. The successful completion of six more LIHTC multi-family properties stretching from Texarkana to Orange Texas has provided Ben with an exceptional understanding of multi-family property development and management. Since 2000 Ben has participated in the financing, accounting, development, construction, and management of over $88 million in multi-family LIHTC projects. Ben has a bachelor’s degree in business administration with an emphasis in marketing from Stephen F. Austin State University. Ben’s family history is deeply rooted in East Texas with a long history of service to the community. Service is one of his strongest qualities.
