Case study
Accomplishing in 2 years what couldn’t be done in 2 decades.
A national merchant builder sought to develop a project at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. Assembling the site was extremely complicated, to say the least. Over the years, many had tried to assemble a suitable building site with no result.
Alex counseled them on assembling a development site. He helped them do so in a prime location, across the street from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign campus. 18 separate parcels were combined to comprise two whole city blocks. And Alex successfully negotiated with the 12 disparate owners —accomplishing in two years what others had unsuccessfully attempted for 20.

“The Champaign County Regional Planning Commission selected Alex Ruggieri through a competitive process to lead our search for space for our Indoor Climate Research and Training (ICRT) program. Alex guided us through an extensive search process, leaving no stone unturned. He worked tirelessly to identify viable options, interface with property owners and developers, and organize site evaluations. Throughout the process, he remained communicative, transparent, and committed to ensuring our needs were fully met. The facility requirements and program needs for ICRT were very specific and our search encountered several dead ends along the way. Despite these challenges, Alex remained consistently optimistic, encouraging, and solution oriented. Working with Alex was a truly positive experience, and any organization would be well served by his expertise, professionalism, and dedication.”
