Jess Molasky is Principal and Project Manager at Ovation Development, a company founded by his father, Alan, in 1984 and the region’s leading designer and developer of both market-rate and affordable multi-family housing projects in Southern Nevada.

The company has designed and built 33 multi-family communities throughout the Las Vegas metropolitan area valued in excess of $1 billion and encompassing 8,340 units. Today, Ovation is easily considered one of the state’s largest and leading developers of affordable housing with 13 projects totaling more than 1,900 units – with more under development.

After graduating from UCLA in 2016 where he studied geography, environmental science and urban planning, Jess worked for UCLA Capital Programs to build three new Leadership in Energy Environmental Design (LEED)-certified dorm facilities and two world-class LEED-certified athletic facilities to be used for upcoming Olympics in 2028. While working for the Capital Programs, Jess helped to roll out a pilot program which created transparency relative to power usage for students living in the dorms. By collecting sub-meter data and developing a dashboard, the energy consumption of each section and floor could be tracked.
