Zeb McLaurin

Biografía: Zeb McLaurin is the CEO and Founder of McLaurin Development Partners (MDP), a full-service commercial real estate property development and management company. Since its inception nearly 25 years ago, MDP has successfully developed a national reputation committed to its core mission of developing and enhancing value from previously underutilized and de-valued assets. McLaurin historically develops projects in our urban cores, addressing the results of dis-investment. His creative solutions are always shaped with integrity, sense of responsibility, and collaboration. The team’s focus on restoring urban markets has resulted in hundreds of acres of revitalized and redeveloped land sites, the creation of 1.5MM+ square feet of new commercial retail and mixed-use spaces, thousands of new jobs, and new investment resources measured in the hundreds of millions. McLaurin has developed both small neighborhood and large-scale developments with national anchor tenants, government, and institutional clients/tenants. MDP creates residual value for investors, clients, and the communities they serve - developing many first outlets for national corporations in traditionally underserved neighborhoods. Zeb is an active member of the community - Chairman of the Morehouse College Alumni Association Chicago Chapter, member of ICSC (Innovating Commerce Serving Communities), Urban Land Institute Chicago Advisory Board, City Club of Chicago, the Economic Club of Chicago, and a board member of Landmarks Illinois. McLaurin received his B.A., Finance, from Morehouse College in Atlanta, GA. The father of four (Kristian, Zeb VI, Nikki, and Matt) lives in Chicago, IL.
