JEFFREY J. HOOK, P.E., LEED-AP Principal

Mr. Hook has more than twenty years of design, project management and real estate development experience.

After earning B.S. and M.S. degrees in structural engineering from the University of Illinois, he spent the first three years of his career designing large-scale commercial, industrial and multifamily projects across the country.

He has spent the two decades since managing the development, design and construction of a wide range of project sizes and types for national real estate developers and regional design-build general contractors — primarily in southeastern Wisconsin, but also in Illinois, Michigan and New Jersey.

Mr. Hook’s broad, hands-on experience gives him a unique perspective and better understanding of how all of the various aspects of a project — development, design, construction, operations and leasing/sales — are intertwined and mutually dependent. His clients benefit from his ability to see and appreciate the whole picture to help them make better-informed design decisions and more effectively manage their project costs, schedules and processes.

He takes particular pride in leading teams that have overcome significant challenges — salvaging sites that have been “undevelopable” for decades or “can’t be rezoned”, hitting delivery dates that are “impossible” to meet, delivering projects that “can’t work financially” or have “too many moving parts”.

In his free time, Mr. Hook enjoys traveling, photography and coaching youth soccer.
