Chesapeake Beach, MD — April 9, 2025 — Today marks the official launch of JoBright Solutions, a full-service real estate development and advisory firm dedicated to building strong, inclusive, and sustainable communities across the Mid-Atlantic and beyond.
Founded by a team of seasoned leaders in real estate, government policy, business strategy, and investment, JoBright Solutions brings a holistic, people-first approach to affordable housing, mixed-use development, and community revitalization. The firm offers comprehensive services in development, management, construction, investment, and strategic advisory, all under one mission: to build communities that thrive—one door at a time.
“At JoBright Solutions, we believe that everyone deserves a quality place to live—and that housing is the foundation for opportunity,” said France Matias, Partner at JoBright Solutions. “We’re not just developers. We’re long-term partners in progress, working with nonprofits, local governments, and mission-driven investors to turn bold visions into real, lasting impact.”
Headquartered in Chesapeake Beach, Maryland, JoBright Solutions draws on decades of experience in retail management, property development, commercial brokerage, and public service. Our partners have led major community initiatives—from infrastructure expansion to zoning reform—giving us a strong foundation in public-private partnerships and real estate strategy.
Building on this legacy, JoBright is ready to help organizations unlock the full value of their real estate assets. We specialize in affordable, workforce, and senior housing, with a focus on leveraging LIHTC, New Markets Tax Credits, Opportunity Zones, and other innovative funding tools to bring transformative projects to life.
What Sets JoBright Solutions Apart:
- People-Centered Development: Every project begins with community engagement and is designed to uplift residents—not just deliver units.
- End-to-End Services: From concept to construction to long-term support, JoBright offers fully integrated solutions tailored to mission-driven clients.
- Strategic Advisory: JoBright helps clients navigate zoning, site selection, funding, and developer negotiation through a collaborative, value-based process.
- Long-Term Commitment: The firm remains invested well beyond project completion, supporting property operations, resident services, and neighborhood sustainability.
Thomas McKay, a longtime leader in business management and commercial real estate, emphasized JoBright’s community-first focus:
“We’re here to be a partner, not a vendor. Our team understands how public policy, local markets, and people’s lived experiences come together—and that’s what makes our approach different. We’re building more than structures—we’re building futures.”
JoBright’s leadership team includes:
- Thomas McKay, Partner – Former Commissioner President of St. Mary’s County with 40+ years of development and government experience.
- Steeve Simbert, Partner – MPP (Oxford), MBA (Quantic), U.S. government consultant, and congressional and federal policy expert.
