After graduating from Temple University, Nate joined a boutique architectural firm in Moorestown, NJ. After spending two years working on adaptive reuse and self-storage projects, he made the jump across the Delaware River and began working at JKRP Architects in 2015. Nate successfully parlayed his experience and immediately began managing multiple small-format Giant Heirloom Markets around the Philadelphia metro, with locations in Graduate Hospital, South Philadelphia, and Northern Liberties. After learning the ins-and-outs of retail design, Nate successfully transitioned his retail experience and skills into the world of mixed-use residential. His completed projects include 4233 Chestnut, a 285-unit mixed-use development in West Philadelphia, and 510 North Broad, a 410-unit mixed-use development that is currently the largest wood-framed modular building on the East Coast. As an instrumental team member from the beginning of the project, he successfully oversaw and managed the building’s construction over a 2+ year period. His current projects include 4200 Market, a 352-unit mixed-use development in West Philadelphia, 1100 Wharton, a 155-unit mixed-use building in South Philadelphia, and 4124 Haverford Ave, a 55-unit residential building in West Powelton, Philadelphia.
In his spare time, Nate enjoys taking woodworking classes and spending time with his partner and their two cats, Sebastian and Peanut.
