Richard Van Zeyl

Associate Principal at Wight & Company

With nearly 20 years of experience, Rich provides project leadership—from design through implementation—across the spectrum of mixed-use developments, including residential, retail, and office, as well as educational facilities and recreation centers. As Associate Principal, his responsibilities include the creation of early concepts through the site and zoning analysis and the development of documents during the entitlements process. To gain successful zoning approval, he believes meeting with clients, city officials, zoning attorneys, and other stakeholders early in the process to gain consensus is critical. He continues on a project through the documentation by coordinating with internal and external project teams, design oversight, documentation, and construction administration.
