Seefried Names VP of Development for Midwest

Seefried Industrial Properties hired Brian Novak as VP of development, based out of Seefried’s Chicago office. He’s charged with oversight of development, land acquisitions, and project management of build-to-suit and speculative industrial projects throughout the Midwest.

The company says Novak has joined Seefried with a strong history of strategic project management and critical problem-solving experience in addition to robust knowledge of the construction and commercial real estate business.

Novak has 30-plus years of experience in the industry and most recently served as VP at Northern Builders, Inc. where he was responsible for many aspects of development and construction from inception through project close-out.

“Brian has a proven track record of executing complex development projects while meeting budget and managing decisions in critical project milestones,” said Dave Riefe, SVP of Seefried’s Midwest region.
