Jim Forrester

Multi-Family Division President

After graduating from The University of Florida’s School of Building Construction in 1993, Jim began working as a superintendent overseeing construction of a 396-unit apartment complex in Springfield Missouri.  Kelly Greens is still a premier apartment community after 25 yrs.  Jim learned early in his career that cost, time, quality and safety are important variables that play into the success of any project.  But if you ask Jim today what the most important variable for success is, he would say without hesitation that it’s the relationships with the designers, subs, vendors and governmental agencies that play major roles in bringing a product to market.  “I’ve been lucky to be able to forge long term relationships with people throughout my career, it’s because of them that I’ve been a part of delivering successful projects”
