Peak Capital Partners LLC, a privately owned real estate investment firm based in Provo, has announced the appointment of Chris Manning as chief executive officer.
Manning joined Peak in 2014 and has experience in real estate investment, asset management, strategy and operations. Most recently, he served as managing director of acquisitions for the firm.
“It’s been a pleasure working alongside Chris the past few years and I look forward to continuing to grow Peak together,” said Peak co-founder, chairman and chief investment officer Jeff Danley. “Chris is a perfect fit for driving the firm’s unique culture of excellence and collaboration.”
Manning will oversee all functional areas of both Peak Capital Partners and Peak Living, a national property management company that operates Peak’s apartment communities across the country. His focus will be on delivering strong, stable returns to investors, fulfilling careers to Peak associates and high-quality living experiences to property residents, Danley said.
“We are thrilled to announce the appointment of Chris as our new chief executive officer,” said co-founder Jamie Dunn. “His leadership talents and relevant experience will combine to steadily and positively lead Peak to the next level of growth, with a focus on our employees, investors, and communities.”
The firm’s founders — Jeff Burningham, Danley and Dunn — will remain active in the business and will be on the firm’s Investment Committee.
Prior to joining Peak, Manning was a senior vice president at Amstar and president of Travaasa Experiential Resorts, Amstar’s destination hospitality subsidiary, where he was responsible for Travaasa’s day-to-day activities and management of all property operations, personnel and financial performance.
