St. John Properties, Inc. has selected Jonas Asner as the latest participant in its Partner-in-Training Program. The initiative, which prepares professionals to open a new regional office in an area of the country deemed a growth market, demonstrates six different commercial real estate disciplines over a four-year period including development, construction, marketing, leasing, tenant improvements and property management. Mr. Asner recently graduated from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill after earning a Bachelor of Science degree in Economics.
Mr. Asner is pursuing his Masters of Business Administration degree as part of the Johns Hopkins Carey Business School.
