As the senior planner for Delaware County Pennsylvania, Jim applied concepts learned in graduate school studying under Philadelphia’s famous city planner, Edmund Bacon, to the re-thinking of residential and commercial planning guidelines for suburban communities incorporating concepts of open space networks, neighborhood scale communities and retail ammenities within walking distance, incentivised by density bonuses. These concepts were presented to dozens of municipalities, chambers of commerce and development industry associations generating favorable media coverage for the county and resulting in a measurable improvement in the quality of new development. Based on this work, Jim was invited to participate in the planning of Beckett New Town, a new community of 90,000 people in the New Jersey Pine Barrens. Under contract to W.R. Grace Properties, Jim assisted in land planning and the preparation of a US Department of Housing and Urban Development New Town Grant Application.

Jim also particpated in the master planning of Coconut Creek, a new town on the east coast of Florida. He also master planned five multi-family housing projects totalling 2800 units throughout southern New Jersey and eastern Pennsylvania and was responsible for zoning approvals. In Missouri, Jim master planned townhouses and apartments for Lincoln Property Company and villas for the Vatterott Company and was also responsible for zoning approvals. With zoning emerging as a sub-specialty, Jim was involved in rezoning of commerical and multi-family residential projects in eleven states.

Commercial Facilities

As consultant for Loblaw’s, Jim conducted a computer based cost analysis of retail supermarket projects throughout the United States and Canada. He became the lead planner and account manager for several Loblaw supermarket divisions including National Tea Company in Minnesota and Missouri, Canal Villerie in Lousiana, Standard Supermarkets in Indiana and Peter J. Schmidt in New York. Jim also managed the design of shopping center projects in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Illinois and Washington, DC. In Florida, Jim applied his supermarket expertise to the architectural and engineering design of 434 new and renovation projects throughout the southeastern United States for Publix Supermarkets, the world’s largest privately held supermarket chain.

The State of Missouri launched an international design competitiion for the redevelopment of the historic Wainwright Building, a St. Louis landmark designed by turn of the century architect Louis Sullivan. A joint venture with Jim’s architecture school professor, Aldo Gurgola, won the competition and then provided design services for its adaptive re-use as a state office and courts complex. The completed project received numerous awards for historic preservation and was the subject of several national articles and TV programs.

Applying the Wainwright public sector office building experience to the private sector office building market, Jim became the real estate broker, developer, planner, business development officer and/or designer of office building projects for Linclay, Lieberman, Bakewell and Forsyth development companies as well as corporate office facilities for Boatmen’s Bank, National Tea Company and Roosevelt Federal Savings & Loan. Culminating his office building experience, Jim was selected by Apex Oil Company for land acquisition, master planning and development of a seven high-rise office building complex in Clayton, Missouri. Jim developed project proforma, led land acquistion and was responsible for conceptual design and re-zoning. Based on the success of this project, Jim’s firm was invited to consult with other Apex subisdiaries including Clark Oil Company and Breckinridge Resorts.

Ernst and Young operations were spread across 350,000 SF of leased space in the Chicago Region. Jim was in charge of an interior design group providing services in connection with the consolidation of the Chicago operations into a single 300,000 SF location on six floors of the Sears Tower. This was the first major corporate interior project in the US to employ “hotelling,” a concept whereby workers who sporadically came to the office would reserve office space via a consierge thereby reducing the need for dedicated offices by 20% enabling a portion of the savings to be invested in providing a superior work environment.

Based on the success of the Chicago Ernst and Young project, a team led by Jim was selected to perform similar services for the Dallas Region. Extensive deployment of IT systems was also part of this assignment.

Athletic and Recreation Facilities

Jim’s master of architecture thesis dealt with the sports and recreation building type. After completing graduate school he began to plan and design community centers, gymnasia, natatoria, ice rinks and parks. His firm’s work included the first major collegate student recreation center in the nation at St. Louis University. Subsequently, Jim led planning and design teams for university projects across the nation, seven of which were recognized by Athletic Business magazine as“Facilities of Merit.” Jim served on the magazine’s Facility of Merit Jury for three years. Jim participated in the development of the Show Me Center, an indoor spectator facility at Southeast Missouri State University seating 15,000. He was involved in the conceptual design of arenas for the Univeristy of Maine and the University of Miami. He participated in planning studies for the expansion of Busch Stadium in St. Louis. And, recently, he was development manager for the planning, conceptual design and land grant approval of a 40 thousand seat enclosed multi-purpose staduim in the United Arab Emirates designed by HOK Sport of London.

In response to a growing interest in the design-build delivery method, Jim became co-owner of a Boston based design-build firm (DFTA) with a prestegious portfolio of clients – George Washington University, The American University, Brown University, Boston College, the University of Maine, the University of Vermont, Siena College, Clarkson University and Rohan University. Jim was responsible for sales and marketing as well as serving as project executive for planning and design of collegiate sports and recreation projects. Jim personally developed a campus master plan and space program for Siena College in Albany, NY.

Jim’s research and early practical success with design-build established him as an expert in alternative project delivery methods. He gave presentations on design-build at annual conferences of the American Insititute of Architects. He became chairman of the ad hoc committee that wrote Florida’s legislation authorizing the use of construction management at-risk and program management at-risk for public sector owners – this legislation dramatically reduced post-construction claims and litigation. He negotiated and signed a $2.2 billion design-build contract for the renovation and construction of 110 schools in Central Florida. Then, he opened a Florida office for an international AEC firm and, using the constrution management at-risk delivery method, grew the firm at rate of a person per month for seven years becoming one of the leading profit centers for the company.

Program Management

Jim has played hands-on leadership roles in winning and managing large capital facility programs using both at-risk and agency delivery methods.

The program management team defined projects, developed a master schedule and provided a guaranteed maximum price for the entire program. All projects were completed ahead of schedule capturing savings and delivering significantly more classrooms than orignially budgeted.

Orlando, Florida – program management at-risk for the 16th largest school district in the United States. Phase One included assessing needs at 144 schools, engaging the public, planning the program and establishing procedures for program implementation. Phase Two involved the design and initial phases of construction of a $2.2 billion at-risk renovation and new school program using the program-management-at-risk delivery method authorized by the new legislation written by Jim.
