Adam Barnard

For more than a decade, Adam has been helping his clients solve the most complex real estate development, acquisition, equity and financing challenges. But his passion for development has been life-long: The son of a homebuilder, Adam spent his high school summers working on his dad’s jobsites learning about residential development. After earning his degree in finance and real estate, he began working in commercial real estate and, over the course of his career, has learned from some of the best minds in the industry.

As Director of Real Estate Development he supports the industrial, retail, senior living, mixed-use, multifamily and other unique real estate development efforts across the country. In addition to building relationships with new clients and strengthening partnerships with existing ones, he is responsible for identifying, negotiating and evaluating development opportunities, collaborating with internal and external project stakeholders, and managing Ryan Companies' developments from acquisition to stabilization.

Driven by the challenge and thrill of executing a strategy while creating success for all involved, Adam is known for leveraging the leadership and teamwork skills he picked up in the Army to navigate high pressure situations without losing his cool.
