Janie Schaumburg Joins Ownership Group
May 6, 2026
Big news at JSD—please join us in congratulating Janie Schaumburg on becoming the newest member of our ownership team!
Janie has been an essential part of JSD since 2019. With a degree in Landscape Architecture from Penn State and experience designing everything from luxury gardens to town centers, she brings a rare blend of creativity and technical insight. As our Director of Development Services, she leads a talented team that helps clients evaluate the viability and risks of commercial and retail development on a national level.
Her work touches every stage of the development process—site analysis, research, due diligence, real estate strategy, entitlements, permitting, and more.
If you know Janie, you know her “dream job” is selling vegetables from a roadside stand—fitting for someone who loves gardening, outdoor projects, and creating beautiful spaces. When she’s not in the garden, she’s hiking, camping, cooking, or hosting the people she cares about.
We’re incredibly proud to have Janie step into this leadership role and look forward to the continued impact she’ll make.
