Jenny Peyton - Revenue Manager/Lease Administrator

Jenny Peyton joined the Ensemble team in 2000. Having been licensed and actively involved in all aspects of commercial real estate since 1984, Jenny saw that her skills would be useful to Ensemble as they expanded. Jenny's position provides an important bridge between Ensemble's various departments ensuring consistency of documentation and administration of our tenant leases. Her position requires her to work closely with leasing, accounting, property management, and finance as she provides lease documentation, administration and compliance, creates and maintains lease abstracts, and maintains Argus databases for all Ensemble properties. Jenny's work in Argus plays a very big roll in Ensemble's budgeting process, as well as provides assistance with due diligence for potential acquisitions and developments. Jenny balances her responsibilities attending to the tedious and regimented responsibilities at work with a free-spirited and very creative and artistic personal life.

Randy McPherson - Special Projects

With his attention to detail, an eye for improvement, and willingness to challenge the norms and shift in paradigms, Randy McPherson fits perfectly the vision the managing directors had when they hired him. Randy was brought on to bring a new perspective to improving Ensemble's properties. When he first joined Ensemble, Randy was charged with helping to improve the appearance of the older properties in Ensemble's portfolio. Randy took a look at the properties from the visitor's point of view with a vision to create a calming environment rather than a sterile one. Randy's position has expanded since then and he now also oversees our most challenging capital improvement projects so that property managers can devote their time, without distraction, to the needs of their tenants. When Randy is not dedicated to one "special project", he works independently identifying areas that can be improved and researching new and innovative products all in an effort to create a unique Ensemble experience for our tenants and visitors. While most of his colleagues are just as likely to see him digging a hole for a new sign post as sitting in a meeting providing guidance and direction, they may be surprised to know that he is an aficionado of champagnes and regularly hosts unique and inspiring tastings for his family and friends.
