Nina-Lee Jewell, Founder & Managing Partner, Jewell Advisory Group

Nina-Lee Jewell is a Managing Partner and C Suite real estate executive with more than 25 years of experience across the real estate investment and operating lifecycle.


Her work spans investment strategy, acquisitions, transaction processes, acquisition integration, asset management, portfolio operations, property management oversight, affordable and workforce housing, development, organizational design, compliance and risk, capital planning, technology, reporting, and enterprise transformation.


Across her career, Nina-Lee has held leadership responsibility across more than 150,000 units and hundreds of assets and communities, including executive oversight of one of the country’s largest affordable housing portfolios.


She has built and transformed Asset Management functions, compliance capabilities, capital management teams, property management platforms, reporting systems, operating standards, governance structures, and acquisition-to-operations processes.


Her experience extends across the United States and Canada, including housing strategy, economic development, real estate development, CMHC programs, organizational capacity, governance, and work with Indigenous and First Nations communities.


Her career includes private-equity-backed organizations, institutional real estate platforms, developers, owner operators, affordable housing investors, public and mission-driven organizations, and strategic advisory assignments.


Today, Nina-Lee combines investment platform leadership with strategic advisory, bringing an operator’s perspective to the investment, organizational, and operating decisions that determine whether real estate strategies succeed.


“I look at both sides of the equation: whether the investment makes sense and whether the organization can actually execute the underwriting after closing.”

A Career Built Around Building

A consistent theme throughout Nina-Lee’s career has been building the organizational infrastructure real estate platforms need to grow, institutionalize, and perform.
