In additional to developing investment grade apartments, Richard led Bozzuto’s entry into the home building business in 1990 and oversaw development and sales of condominium, townhome and single family communities. Richard then led Pritzker Residential’s Mid Atlantic office, developing its residential portfolio comprised of ground breaking designs at the traditional neighborhood designed King Farm development as well as in town projects in Washington D.C. at the Park Hyatt and the 372 unit Mass Court in the East End.
