    Peter’s diverse experience in public and private real estate spans a range uses and scales, including mixed-income housing, the adaptive reuse of historic buildings, and district-scale master-planned development.

    Prior to founding Building Block, Peter was Director of Real Estate at the I-195 Redevelopment District, a quasi-public state agency responsible for the redevelopment of 26-acres of land in Downtown Providence where an elevated highway once ran. Previously, Peter led projects for developers in New York City and Boston.

    Peter holds a masters degree in real estate from Harvard University, a bachelors degree in history from Connecticut College, and is an AICP certified city planner.

    He lives in Providence with his wife, Anne, and their two children, Marlow and Graham. In his free time he can be found on the water, rowing on the Seekonk River or swimming in Buzzards Bay, and enjoying the culture, food, and urbanism of Providence, New York City, and Boston.
