Lorenzo founded Shape with a conviction that the multi-family residential market in the first circle outside major city centers was underserved by operators who combined genuine construction quality with research-driven investment discipline. He brings a European construction background — shaped by Swiss project management methods and direct experience with European materials suppliers — to markets that respond to buildings built differently. Under his direction, Shape has built a track record of above-market absorption across the portfolio. Lorenzo is based in Jersey City.
