Throughout the 1980s, as a partner at developer Rouse & Associates, Alan managed such high profile projects as a 400,000 sf Washington, D.C. office building and the development of a 20-acre Penn’s Landing urban mixed-use project. He began his career as an architect, working on the design of multifamily residential, commercial, and health care projects in the Midwest and Pacific Northwest, and for purely sentimental reasons he maintains his status as a registered architect in Pennsylvania.
