Experience
Paul started his career in the commercial real estate industry in 1991 and joined us in 2019. While his current focus is primarily on multifamily development, he has successfully completed work in the industrial, retail and office sectors. He attributes his diverse background of knowledge and experience in these various sectors to his thorough understanding of the development process, finding it particularly helpful when pursuing mixed-use developments.

When working on Dash Downers Grove Apartments (Downers Grove, IL), Paul leaned on his strengths and skills. By doing so, he was able to establish a strong relationship with a local church regarding an opportunity to purchase their parking lot for development into a luxury apartment community. Through open communication, multiple meetings with the church and congregation and listening to their concerns and needs, Paul earned the trust on the promise that we would deliver and meet their needs. The collaboration and relationship continued throughout the design and construction process and in the end, the team exceeded the church’s expectations.

Personal Interests
Outside of work, Paul is an avid home brewer, mastering his skills since 1995. He also enjoys spending his time hunting, fishing and with family.
