Jenn Limoges Honored with Cascades East Association of Realtors 2025 Commercial Transaction of the Year Award
The Cascades East Association of Realtors has honored Jenn Limoges, CCIM, Partner and Principal Broker at NAI Cascade with the Commercial Transaction of the Year Award, recognizing her role in the sale of 11.22 acres within the Ochoco Mill Redevelopment, one of Prineville’s most significant and transformational real estate transactions to date.
The award celebrates Jenn’s leadership in the May 2024 disposition of the multifamily development site from Ochoco Lumber Company to North Peak Development, a project that will bring 312 new apartment units to the community and act as a catalyst for future growth in the Ochoco Mill. More than a complex commercial transaction, the deal represents a meaningful step forward for Prineville’s long-term housing, economic, and community-development goals.
For Jenn, the recognition is especially meaningful. She has spent more than eight years stewarding and marketing the Ochoco Mill master plan, guided by her dedication and belief in Prineville’s people and potential. That conviction fueled her persistence through environmental and logistical challenges that required patience, creativity, and collaboration.
“This project reflects what I’ve always believed about Prineville; it’s a community worth investing in,” Jenn said. “The Ochoco Mill has shaped the city’s history for generations, and now it will play a pivotal role in shaping its future. I’m incredibly proud to have been part of that transition.”
The transaction required navigating shifting development feasibility, geotechnical constraints on the original plan, and rising construction costs. The buyer and Josh Smith with the City of Prineville led the efforts to secure SB 1530 infrastructure funding, which was essential to keeping the project on track. Jenn supported the process by working with Ochoco Lumber to restructure the System Development Charges, helping ensure the deal remained viable.
The redevelopment of the Ochoco Mill property is poised to make a lasting community impact, delivering much-needed rental housing near schools, services, and employment. With construction underway and completion expected in Spring 2026, the project honors the site’s legacy while catalyzing Prineville’s next era of community-centered growth.
“Jenn has been all-in on Prineville for years” said Katy Haines, NAI Cascade’s Managing Principal Broker. “This award reflects not only her professional excellence but her genuine belief in the future of Crook County.”
