For nearly 40 years, Spinnaker has combined broad market intelligence with hands-on local execution to identify opportunities, unlock value, and create projects that stand the test of time. The firm’s approach blends top-down analysis of economic trends, demographic shifts, capital markets, housing demand, and regional growth patterns with a bottom-up understanding of neighborhoods, sites, community needs, and project-level fundamentals.

Under Clay’s leadership, Spinnaker has developed and built more than 7,500 housing units nationally, with deep concentrations in the northern suburbs of New York City and Portland, Oregon. The firm’s experience extends well beyond multifamily housing, with a diverse portfolio that includes more than 4 million square feet of office, industrial, hospitality, mixed-use, and adaptive reuse projects.

Today, Spinnaker’s team of more than 75 professionals brings together expertise in development, construction, property management, investment strategy, leasing, finance, and community engagement. Across every project, the team is guided by a disciplined investment philosophy, a practical understanding of execution, and a long-term commitment to creating places that serve residents, businesses, partners, and the surrounding community.
