Jay Knoepfel, Founder and Owner of JPK Development, has been in the construction business in the US Virgin Islands for decades and, after the island’s most intense hurricane, Fetterhoff was enamored by Knoepfel’s commitment to rebuilding the island. After consulting with Knoepfel, Fetterhoff knew he could bring a unique set of skills to the island’s most respected construction company, having a background in real estate acquisitions and economic development. The evolution of JPK has been centered around the extensive portfolio they have built, with only 31 square miles of islands to build on. Theis new direction involves purchasing distressed properties and vacant land for redevelopment in collaboration with Koeppel’s wife, Asa ( a local jewelry store owner vibecollection.com) and JFK’s newest partners, architects and construction manager, Scott Burnley. Over the last three years, the three have built a solid working relationship and have evolved JPK Development’s offerings. As a result of this evolution, the partners formed a sister company called JPK Partners LLC. This company allows other companies in the small, close-knit community to collaborate and share skill sets. The new developments are designed by Burnley, who has put his iconic flair into the spec buildings. While the island has a limited real estate inventory, and it is challenging to access raw materials and building equipment, JPK has been able to structure a process that streamlines home-buying on the island. Being actively involved in sharing knowledge has allowed JPK Development to offer additional services that they weren’t ready to provide or simply couldn’t. An example of companies JPK DEVELOPMENT
