Hadi Makarechian, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Banning Lewis Ranch Management Company
Hadi Makarechian is a visionary—among the best in his field. Where most people see 21,000 acres of vast, open ranch land, he sees a perfectly-scripted opportunity. An opportunity and a responsibility. Acres of parks and trails where young families will thrive. Unique homes with architectural designs that are new even to those buying their second or third home. A community where residents are connected to one another, to the neighborhood school, to the recreation and welcome center, and even connected through state-of-the-art fiber optics. A future-enabled community, ever cognizant of its roots, local history, and landscape. A sustainable community that homeowners will be proud to call home for years to come.
Hadi has been involved in the real estate industry as a master planner, builder, developer, and long-term investor for more than 30 years, and he’s recognized as an industry leader and innovator. Some of his projects have been featured on CNN and in Forbes, Newsweek, and The New Yorker. His company has even been recognized by Professional Builder magazine as “One of the 50 Best Companies to Work For.” Currently, his company is developing one of Colorado Springs’ most significant and historic projects — the Banning Lewis Ranch along the eastern border of Colorado Springs. The first village at the Ranch opened to the public in September 2007. The Ranch will ultimately host 175,000 residents when buildout is complete in about 40 years. Hadi has an eye toward the future and can see another thriving, new community.
