Our vision statement is very simple: create value through quality FROM THE GROUND UP. We strive to secure high caliber sites, deliver best-in-class projects, positively impact the local community, and share the realized value with our partners and stakeholders.
We know that in order to be successful, we must hold true to our belief that people and relationships matter. Most shortcuts lead to dead ends.
Therefore, we are highly invested in our team members and the communities in which we do business. We take our commitment to professional development seriously and support those who work on our behalf to maintain our strict standards of uncompromising quality. Our success has given us the responsibility and opportunity to give back, so we support charities that impact the lives of our residents and commercial tenants.
From the ground up.
Formation & Growth
Wingspan was formed by the principals of a 45-plus year general contracting and construction management firm, Nicholas & Associates, to capitalize on multifamily residential, commercial, mixed-use, and land development opportunities throughout Chicagoland.
We have experienced tremendous growth by executing our plan to selectively target markets that offer an excellent quality of life, exhibit job and wage growth, and have demands for mixed-use developments and/or luxury multifamily rental properties. Our expansion has resulted in robust portfolios in Florida, Illinois, and Wisconsin.
Additional development opportunities are being sought in Arizona, Colorado, Georgia, and North Carolina.
Experience
We bring unparalleled experience in acquiring, structuring, entitling, financing, developing, constructing, and managing real estate projects. Our wide breadth of expertise, along with the team’s unparalleled commitment to detail and execution, allows us to deliver projects of uncompromising quality across multiple markets.
We are both analytical and aggressive as we approach every opportunity, seeking to find the best value proposition for a given property. That thought process drives our site selection, design, and building processes.
We have established relationships with top tier consultants and trade partners whose priority is to deliver an outcome that reflects our focus on quality.
As a vertically integrated company, we rely on the extensive experience and expertise of Nicholas & Associates (our sister company) throughout the pre-construction and construction phases of a project. Having seasoned construction experts involved early and throughout the project design phase creates efficiencies and is critical to managing project costs. The Nicholas & Associates team serves as our construction manager, allowing seamless communication and greater agility.
Wingspan is a proud member of the National Multifamily Housing Council (NMHC) and actively attends and participates in NMHC hosted events throughout the year.
We are pledged to the letter and spirit of U.S. policy for equal housing opportunities throughout the nation. We encourage and support an affirmative advertising and marketing program in which there are no barriers to obtaining housing because of race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status, or national origin.
