The completion of first phase of Midtown Tampa, a 20-acre mixed-use development in Tampa with 400 apartments, two hotels, two office buildings, and 185,000 s/f of retail, a three-acre lake and public spaces built and delivered during COVID and leased to over 95% today.
What advice would you give the next generation of leaders in your industry?
Be curious, find a niche where you can stand out, and seek out and cultivate relationships with great mentors. It’s important to be very deliberate about hiring as talent begets talent.

I enjoy serving on the Executive Committee of the Union Square Partnership, non-profit focused on enhancing the quality of life in the Union Square/lower 5th neighborhood of New York City. I both live and work in the neighborhood so it is doubly fulfilling to work with area residents and business to help improve and promote the district.
