Construction Veteran Hornjak Joins Skender

Boris Hornjak has joined Skender as VP of commercial construction. With 34 years of hands-on large project experience across the U.S. and internationally, Hornjak joins Skender from Batten Shaw Construction in Nashville.

Recently, Hornjak successfully completed the Bank of America Tower (formerly Capitol Tower), a 1.4 million-square-foot, 35-story mixed-use and Class A office tower in Houston; as well as an 811,000-square-foot, 35-story, 533-key JW Marriott hotel in Nashville.
 
In the Chicago area, some of his project highlights include: the 52-story One North Wacker (UBS Tower), 30-story 540 W. Madison (formerly ABN-AMRO/Bank of America Plaza), 40-story One South Dearborn and Robert H. Lurie Medical Research Center.
 
“Boris will help Skender grow our ground-up office, industrial, hospitality and mixed-use project pipeline as the built industry begins its economic recovery, as well as mentor Skender’s rising construction stars,” said Justin Brown, president and CEO of Skender.
