Essary Joins Dayton Street to Oversee Development

Andrew J. Essary has joined Dayton Street Partners as director of construction and development. Essary will oversee Chicago-based Dayton Street’s active development portfolio which currently includes projects in Atlanta, Chicago and Houston.
 
“It’s important to have the right team in place as we continue to grow our logistics and development portfolio across the U.S.,” said Howard Wedren, founder and managing principal.  “Andrew is a terrific fit and we’re thrilled he has joined our organization. We look to his expertise and leadership to oversee the successful development of our projects.”
 
Essary joins from Sterling Bay, where he was a senior project manager overseeing a variety of the firm’s projects, most notably the redevelopment of 600 West Chicago; the new-construction 1330 W. Fulton and the Chicago Public Library’s West Loop Branch. 
 
Before joining Sterling Bay, Essary was a senior project manager with JLL’s project and development services group overseeing tenant interiors.
