CRG announced that Dan Hrankowsky has joined its residential team as vice president of development and construction. In his new role, Hrankowsky will oversee all aspects of new development projects, from conceptualization through completion, supporting the firm’s ever-growing development pipeline in some of the nation’s top multifamily and student housing markets.
Having both trained and practiced as an architect, Hrankowsky brings to his role a decade of design expertise supplemented by more than a decade of construction and development experience through all stages of land acquisition, due diligence, entitlement and construction, a skillset that will enhance CRG’s ability to act swiftly on new opportunities.
Since late 2020, CRG has been executing its $1 billion plan for bringing middle-income apartment communities to the nation’s most sought-after markets, particularly in the Sun Belt, where explosive job and population growth has resulted in significant housing demand. The firm is working on multifamily opportunities across that region in cities such as Charlotte, Atlanta, Nashville, Dallas and Phoenix, while also building a significant pipeline of student housing development opportunities at major Tier 1, Power Five universities.
Hrankowsky has held previous roles as an architect at Hartshorne Plunkard Architecture, a development executive at CA Ventures’ Student Living business, and most recently as a senior vice president at Akara Partners. Throughout his career, Hrankowsky has worked on all aspects of various residential building typologies and asset classes, also managing entitlement processes and investor communications. During his time at CA and Akara, he delivered more than 6,000 units, 12,000 beds and 10 million square feet of projects for a total value exceeding $1.75 billion.
Hrankowsky earned a Bachelor of Architecture from the University of Kentucky and a Master of Architecture from Illinois Institute of Technology.
