Construction & Development


With over three decades in real estate construction and project management, I’ve had the privilege of overseeing a wide range of residential, commercial, and industrial projects. My team and I focus on acquiring, renovating, and transforming properties, managing even the most intricate undertakings from concept to completion.

We’ve worked on more than 100 builds and renovations, from single-family homes to large-scale commercial properties. Notable highlights include a $3.5 million custom home in Glenview, Illinois, completed in 2002, and a $8.5 million luxury property in Casey Key Florida completed in 2007. In Siesta Key, we renovated 1280 Dolphin Bay Way, adding strategic upgrades to maximize its value before it was sold. We’ve also managed and improved vacation rentals in Siesta Key, enhancing their appeal and profitability.

Our family trust and LLC projects have ranged from full-scale makeovers to targeted upgrades. These include renovating a condo at 777 North Michigan Avenue in Chicago and revitalizing a property in Barrington Hills with extensive work on the home, barns, and landscaping. Each project has been an opportunity to combine creative problem-solving with practical execution.

On the commercial side, we’ve reimagined office buildings and prepared properties for tenant use. At 318 West Adams in Chicago, I spearheaded the overhaul of a 19-story office building, ensuring it met modern standards while serving as Condo Association President. Similarly, at 2614 Patriot Boulevard in Glenview, we handled tenant improvements and coordinated sales to medical practices.

Breathing new life into neglected spaces has always been a priority. One memorable project was the Old Dixie Square Mall, where we crafted a comprehensive plan to repurpose the 180-acre property for mixed-use purposes. While municipal funding challenges posed obstacles, the process demonstrated our commitment to creative solutions for underutilized properties.

As a licensed Master General Contractor, I have in the past taken an active role in every phase of construction. I now focus on supervising and managing projects from organizing skilled trades—plumbing, electrical, HVAC, and structural work—to managing compliance and budgets, I prioritize efficiency and accuracy. Our extensive network of architects, consultants, and specialists ensures every project runs smoothly, from navigating permits to meeting zoning requirements.

Throughout my career, I’ve valued collaboration and adaptability, tailoring our approach to each unique challenge. Whether working on high-end homes, commercial spaces, or ambitious revitalization efforts, I’m committed to delivering quality results that stand the test of time.
