Carr, the enormous Dutch institution ING, and the founding off several real estate companies to develop, plan, advise, and invest in DC area properties, Mr. Epperson has real estate experience from several angles and thru several property cycles.   During this time Mr. Epperson has garnered an impressive list of institutional and development relationships available upon request.
