Instructor
Alan Razak
Principal
Razak Company, LLC
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Alan Razak has more than 30 years of commercial real estate experience, encompassing development and project management, finance, architectural/design and consulting. Razak’s diverse real estate experience includes managing the development process both as owner and on a consulting basis as owner’s representative, on project types including residential, office, commercial and technical facilities.
Prior to forming Razak Company in 2003, he was a principal with a Philadelphia real estate consulting and investment advisory firm, providing services ranging from strategic real estate planning to implementation of complex transactions. Razak managed the firm’s Philadelphia real estate consulting group, and designed the group’s strategic real estate planning process. The strategic planning process often led to implementation assignments, including Razak’s continued role as Owner’s Representative managing an intensely complex $100 million redevelopment of a major mutual fund's critical data operations facility while it remained in operation.
During the early 1990’s Razak worked exclusively in consulting, with assignments focused on consulting development management (including the first modern office building in Warsaw), real estate finance and construction-related litigation support, due diligence analysis, corporate relocations, sale-leaseback transactions, and workout assistance. For much of the 1980’s, he was a partner at Rouse and Associates (now Liberty Property Trust), managing such high profile projects as a 400,000 square foot Washington, D.C. office building project and Rouse’s 20-acre Penns Landing urban multiuse project on Philadelphia’s waterfront. Included in his responsibilities for these projects was the negotiation of development, financing, land lease and disposition agreements with both public and private sector landowners. While pursuing his business degree, Razak also worked on numerous multifamily residential developments for rehab specialist Historic Landmarks for Living.
Razak began his career as an architect, working on the design of multifamily residential, commercial and health care projects in the Midwest and Pacific Northwest, and he maintains his status as a registered architect in Pennsylvania. Razak holds a Bachelor of Science in Arts and Design from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, a Master of Architecture from the University of Washington, and an MBA with a concentration in real estate from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania. He has served on the Executive Committee of the Central Philadelphia Development Corporation’s Board of Directors, and has taught numerous classes in real estate finance, performing real estate market studies, construction and real estate development.
