Jeff Deeds

Director of Development

Jeff Deeds joined Visconsi Companies in February 1995 and oversees new project development for the Company.  Initially hired to handle site selection and land acquisition, his responsibilities have expanded to encompass all aspects of development including tenant negotiations, municipal approvals, building design, site planning, construction and financial analysis.

Mr. Deeds received a Bachelor of Science degree in Landscape Architecture in 1986 from The Ohio State University with an emphasis in Urban Planning. He completed graduate coursework in Business Administration at Roosevelt University in Chicago.  Upon graduation he practiced as a licensed landscape architect with a nationally award-winning design/build firm, working on projects from St. Louis to New York City.

In 1990, Mr. Deeds’ passion for real estate development drove him to change his career path.  Soon after obtaining his real estate license, he garnered a site selection and construction management position for a large regional home improvement chain where he was responsible for the growth of a five-state territory.
 
Under Mr. Deeds’ management, Visconsi Companies has evolved into one of the Midwest’s most successful developers for Walgreens, the nation’s leading drug store chains.  He prides himself in the ability to assemble and lead outstanding teams of real estate professionals into the most challenging development projects and return with successful results. 

An active member of ICSC, he enjoys golf, skiing and outdoor activities with his wife, Sharon, and three children.
