Dave Enslow

Finance Committee

A constant pursuit of emerging markets up and down the West Coast and an eye toward the next opportunity define Dave Enslow’s 23-year career in real estate investment. He founded Timberlane in 2011 with a dedication to “missing middle” housing efforts and a commitment to community engagement while growing a business.

Dave’s passion for acquisitions combined with his expertise in asset and construction management have driven compelling returns. While Dave is largely focused on multi-family housing, the portfolio has expanded to include boutique hotels and other alternative investment projects, including an investment in Seattle Pottery Supply which reinvigorated the nearly 50-year-old landmark and linchpin of the Seattle ceramics community.

A Washington State native and University of Washington alum, Dave lives in Seattle with his wife and three children and dedicates his free time to nonprofit work, such as serving on the Path with Art board, and spending time with his family skiing, woodworking, fishing, and sailing.
