This year’s Manager of the Year exemplifies what it means to be an exceptional leader. Jeffrey “Jef” Frederick, Sr. Resident Manager at 2112 New Hampshire Avenue Apartments in Washington D.C. empowers his team members to continuously improve and strive to be better each day. He consistently meets with his team to understand the obstacles they face, while also taking the time to explain the “why” behind what we do.

Jef fosters an environment where ideas are welcomed, and where collaboration and communication are essential. He is committed not only to improving the property, but also to developing the team. He is also always looking for new ways to modernize his property, ensuring it remains competitive with new products entering the market and continues to meet evolving resident expectations.

Jef approaches every meeting—regardless of the audience—with confidence in both the property and himself. He has a strong understanding of his property market and ensures that those around him are equally informed.

Jef is always seeking opportunities to reduce expenses while maintaining a high level of resident satisfaction. Despite facing several external challenges over the past few months, he has remained positive and resilient.

In addition, Jef has become a trusted mentor to other managers within our organization. His peers regularly seek his guidance, relying on his insight and experience.

We are proud to congratulate Jef on being named the 2026 Manager of the Year.
