Since joining the firm in
the 1990s, Randy Fifield has led the rapid growth of Fifield’s multifamily
division and, alongside Steve, spearheaded the delivery of more than 3,000
luxury apartment units across the country.
Actively involved in all
stages of the development process, she is currently managing the completion of
four luxury rental projects comprising 1,492 units, all of which are set to
deliver by the end of 2017.
They include NEXT, a 310-unit tower in Chicago’s River North
neighborhood; The Sinclair, a 390-unit, transit-oriented mixed-use development
in Chicago’s Gold Coast neighborhood; NEXT on Lex, a 494-unit complex in
Glendale, Calif.; and NEXT on Sixth, a 398-unit community in Los Angeles. She also
produces Randy Fifield Modern Living, a lifestyle blog.
“Randy’s passion and
resolute vision that the luxury apartment market was the ‘next big thing’ in
real estate has driven the Fifield Cos. to an unprecedented level of success,”
said Steve Fifield.
“Her foresight and understanding of the market
has been vital to that success – from her innovative use of Designer Showcases
to create buzz around our projects to the high-end unit finishes, luxury
amenities and convenient work-from-home features that are hallmarks of our
buildings. She is a masterful communicator and multi-tasker whose determination
and leadership will take Fifield Cos. well into the future.
“I am in constant awe of
her energy and enthusiasm,” he added. “She’s a champion of women in the
commercial real estate field and the best partner I could have in business –
and life.”
