Rick Kirk

Rick Kirk has been involved in real estate development and construction for over 25 years, working for reputable firms such as Dierker Builders, Duke-Wade Associates, and Vantage Companies. In 1987, Mr. Kirk co-founded Hallmark Communities which developed and constructed high quality multi-family units in and around Columbus, Ohio.

In 1996 Rick co-founded K&E Construction and focused exclusively on mid-rise multi-family residential construction. K&E Construction set the benchmark in Columbus for unrivaled quality, dedication to deadlines, and commitment to budgets and excellence. At that time, Rick began to develop market rate rental properties and introduced Columbus to upscale, resort-style apartment communities. The success of these apartment projects led to the development of premier student housing communities in several states.

Rick’s experiences have directly involved him in site evaluations, zoning, development and construction budgets, architectural and engineering service management, contracts, bank draws, and many other miscellaneous development activities for over 4,000 units of luxury apartments and 6,000 bedrooms of student housing.
