About us

The Roosevelt Manor development team has years of experience developing and managing multifamily buildings in the Seattle area.

Jenkins Properties (“JP”) has owned and operated multifamily buildings in Seattle since the early 2000’s. It purchased the original Roosevelt Manor, which was built for the 1962 World’s Fair, in 2004, and operated it as a 30-unit apartment for twenty years. (It was lost to a tenant-caused fire in Spring 2024.) It purchased the parcel to the immediate south in 2022, after the City changed the neighborhood zoning to allow for taller apartment buildings. JP’s owner, Nick Jenkins, is the developer and visionary behind this new Roosevelt Manor. He is a native of West Seattle and graduate of the University of Washington and Georgetown Law. In his spare time he enjoys golf, collecting sports cards, being active in his son’s boy scout troop, and spending time with his wife, two kids, two cats and dog.

Euclid Development LLC’s principal, T.J. Lehman, is the development and financial consultant on the Roosevelt Manor project. He is a former partner at Holland Development and a vice president at Mack Urban, where he managed the development of mixed use highrises in Seattle and Los Angeles. He is also currently building a 139-unit building on Seattle’s Capitol Hill. A Georgia native and graduate of Duke University, Mr. Lehman counts a pickle farm among his past employers.
