Unique projects included the Edgewater Market in Edgewater, CO. LCP Management oversaw more than 16 million square feet of property in virtually every product type and class and continues to grow. Steve retired in 2022.

Previously, Steve worked for the high-rise developer Bramalea USA, where he was involved in the acquisition and development of high-rise development properties ranging from $100 to $300 million throughout the United States and Canada. The assets were primarily Class A office buildings built for and owned by foreign institutional investors in the UK, the Netherlands, and Canada. His responsibilities included site selection, market feasibility, pre-leasing, design, and construction feasibility.

Will Kurtz is a founding principal of Pellō, where he focuses on project sourcing, acquisition, and underwriting, while also overseeing project and construction management activities.

Prior to founding Pellō, Will worked as a Design Engineering Consultant and in Investment Property Acquisition for a group of local investors. The acquisition fund focused on cash-flowing, mixed-use spaces in urban corridors with future development potential.

Before relocating back to Colorado, Will was a Facilities Design Engineer with Schlumberger Oilfield Services in Houston. Highlights included leading a 150,000-square-foot manufacturing facility redesign to integrate manufacturing lines from a decommissioned facility from Ponca City, OK and designing and implementing a new production method for oil well drill bits that increased production capacity by 200% and enabled an annual savings of $1.6 million.

Will also spent several years working as an offshore Field Engineer in Denmark, where he designed, coordinated, and led coiled tubing operations on offshore oil and gas installations.
