John Wright
Owner’s Representative for Construction
Professional Experience
John Wright, as President of John F. Wright, Inc., provides development
management, construction management, and asset management services for
the development, construction and maintenance of multifamily properties. For
the Alamo Area Mutual Housing Association, a San Antonio non-profit
provider of affordable housing, John was responsible for overseeing
the rehabilitation of 150 multifamily housing units and the new construction
of 280 units. He also performed construction management duties
for 360 units built by three for-profit developers (one of which was
Edgewater Affordable Housing) and managed the new construction of 250
units for Texas Regional Companies.
Prior to forming his own company, John served as Development Manager
for the Gulf Coast Division of Trammell Crow Residential in Houston,
Texas. In that capacity he was responsible for coordinating
all aspects of the development process, including programming, selection
of the design team, development of the design, preparation of the construction
documents, and permitting. During the construction phase
of the project, he provided coordination between Construction and Residential
Services by assisting in the establishment of management requirements,
establishing requirements and procedures for initial and incremental
occupancy, coordinating the establishment of leasing and management
systems, establishing acceptance procedures, and coordinating project
closeout procedures. Since August 1998, John has coordinated
the completion of six projects containing 2,176 units, managed the design-through-completion
phases of five projects containing 1,184 units, managed the design-through-start-of-construction
phases of three projects containing 644 units, and coordinated the final
stages of permitting for two projects containing 392 units. During
those projects he worked directly with the architects and engineers
using a series of staff-approved project specifications and development
checklists to assure that projects were on time and within budget. Earlier,
as Project General Superintendent with Trammell Crow, John was responsible
for the construction of a 309-unit four-story, high-density apartment
community with two five-story steel and concrete parking garages.
John also served as Project engineer for the Actus-Sundt Group in San
Antonio, Texas during construction of the Watkins Terrace subdivision,
a housing development consisting of 250 single-family homes at Fort
Sam Houston.
From 1990 through 1994 John served as President of Flato Realty Investment, Inc., also in San Antonio, managing the company’s day-to-day operations. From 1981 until 1990 he was Executive Vice President of Construction and Development for Flato. In that capacity he managed the re-development and renovation of five shopping centers and a 600,000-square-foot office building.
John has also served as Construction Manager and Superintendent for Dover Construction of Dallas, Texas, Construction Manager and Chairman of the Architectural Selection Committee for the United States Postal Service’s Southern Region, Project Architect in Aviation Planning for the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, and Architectural Designer for New York Architect Edward Durrell Stone.
