Bill Alter, a leader in the corporate real estate world for more than 50 years, recently passed away. This means a lot to me personally. I’ve only had the pleasure of meeting Bill on a couple of occasions, but his legacy has greatly affected my professional life. The Alter Group’s steady patronage, partnership, and friendship over the past eight years are things that, like Bill, can never be replaced.

I wish I’d had the opportunity to know him better. He was a pioneer and mentor to many. My favorite Bill Alter quote has always been, “Think big, then put on your overalls.” I owe a lot to Bill Alter, his family, and the institutions they’ve created. I’m sure he will be missed by all and I hope that my own work continues to support his legacy.
