Jack Illes has over three decades of diverse real estate experience
encompassing mixed use, hospitality, retail, multifamily and creative office
properties, in roles ranging from strategy to planning to deal making.
Early project experience began with Horton Plaza in Jack’s hometown of
San Diego, continued with 1540 Broadway, one of the catalysts of the
renaissance of Times Square, and then master planning and the leasing of
the initial phase of the 25-year redevelopment of Prudential Center in
Boston. Jack has since been involved in the development of major
destination resorts, urban mixed-use city centers, and adaptive reuse
projects across North America and internationally, including Hollywood and
Highland, where Jack was directly responsible for securing the tenancy of
the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, considered the anchor for
the long awaited rebirth of Hollywood. International projects include
Toronto and Mexico City, as well as Tokyo, Japan, Frankfurt, Germany and
Budapest, Hungary.
Jack’s unique comprehensive approach begins with a detailed
understanding of market dynamics both locally and globally, and an
individualized project strategy that encompasses both long term planning
and hands-on implementation. Recent projects include redevelopment and
repositioning strategies for one of the largest and most famous hotels in
Manhattan, business development and retail strategies for the downtown
pedestrian district in Lincoln Nebraska, and the conceptualization and
master planning of the first major destination theme park resort in Florida in
25 years, where he has partnered with Twentieth Century Fox.
Jack is also on the Board of Directors of Antioch University Los Angeles,
where he is a member of the Executive Committee and the founder of the
Program Development Task Force.
