Homer Williams

Chairman/Founder

Homer has been a leader in real estate development for more than 40 years, including the Pearl District and South Waterfront in Portland, as well as several projects in downtown Los Angeles, with a combined total of over $2.5 billion in property development.

Public/private partnerships are Homer’s specialty: South Waterfront Central District, for example, is a partnership between private investors, Oregon Health & Science University and the City of Portland, and is still the largest urban development in the State of Oregon’s history. Homer was born in Walla Walla, Wash., and raised in La Grande and Portland.
