PROJECTS

Nearly 20 years of projects. Here are a few that stand out.


PROJECT 01

Prospect Vines

165-Unit Townhome Community

Residential Development165 Townhomes + Clubhouse
KEY CHALLENGES

CAFRA environmental restrictions, revolving loan structure, dedicated water infrastructure

The largest development we built, and one of the most complex. CAFRA restrictions shaped every phase of planning and approvals. The revolving loan meant managing draws and repayments carefully across the timeline. The site required its own pump station.

I managed the full lifecycle from approvals through closing on each unit. On the design side, we used varied building colors so children could identify their own home and designed hidden garbage storage so the streetscape stayed clean.

The whole team on this one was incredible. Everything came together: the financing, the construction, the design.

PROJECT 02

Nexus Tower

Commercial Building

Commercial OfficeAddition + New Build
KEY CHALLENGES

Construction on an occupied building, multiple architect coordination, parking capacity

Two parts: adding a second floor while tenants stayed in place, and building a new four-story structure next to it. All without disrupting the people already inside.

We hired three architects. The design needed to match the craftsmanship in the area. I came up with covered parking to solve a capacity problem. At the time, it was the first of its kind in the town.

This one was personal. It was my office. I needed it to work well, look right, and last. We invested in good elevators, timeless design, and quality systems. Six years later, it still looks beautiful.

PROJECT 03

Dual Wedding Hall

First-of-Its-Kind Venue

KEY CHALLENGES

No precedent, acoustic engineering, high-end finishes on disciplined budget

First time a project like this had been done. Two full wedding venues in one facility, charity-deductible, built from the ground up. No template to follow.

I was involved from concept through every finish. The challenge was delivering a true wedding hall experience within a reasonable budget. A lot of the complexity was in details most people would never notice: seamless acoustics between halls, materials chosen for durability and long-term efficiency, not just opening-night aesthetics. Each issue required catching it early and solving it before it became a real problem.

PROJECT 04

The $700K Save

Cost Savings Through Vendor Management

Cost SavingsVendor Management

The GC insisted on using their own vendors for woodwork and glass, major budget items priced accordingly.

I sourced an outside vendor, vetted the quality, and found a way to bring them in despite resistance. Difficult conversations, but the numbers were clear. Over $700,000 in savings on a single project. The owner would never have known to question the original pricing.

That’s the value of having someone on your side who’s been on the other side.
