Jake Vaccarella

Jake Vaccarella

Jake is the leader of URPS’ Residential Team. He understands the time, challenges and costs associated with residential development from start-to-finish.

The development industry values quick and certain planning approvals. Given his extensive experience in Local Government, Jake knows how to best communicate with various assessment professionals to get them on-side quickly.  For example, he helped Rivergum Homes obtain approval for more than 500 houses in a single calendar year.

Jake always delivers on his promises. This is especially so when challenged by a complex development proposal where the solution may not be immediately obvious.

Like the best project managers, Jake is very organised and diligent.  His tireless work ethic and drive to succeed, combined with his warm and friendly nature, distinguishes him as a leader within our compelling development team.
