Mr. Olivier has been in the real estate industry for over two decades. He started his career in the practice of law, representing several national and regional lenders, owners and developers in over $1.5 billion of real estate transactions, including acquisitions and dispositions, financing, joint ventures and ground-up development. In 2005, he left his role as partner with a regional Florida law firm to pursue opportunities on the business side of the real estate industry. During that time, he gained significant experience in the acquisition, entitlement and development of a variety of projects, including retail, office, mixed-use, condominium, subdivision and hospitality assets. In addition to his legal and development experience, Mr. Olivier recently managed a distressed debt platform, where he oversaw the acquisition and disposition of over $250 million in distressed debt throughout the western United States. Most recently, he was a key team member of a local development group, where he managed the development of multiple hospitality assets, valuing in excess of $300 million, with significant involvement in the EB-5 program. In early 2015, Mr. Olivier brought his broad skill set to SKB. He has a Juris Doctor degree from the University of Tulsa and a Bachelor of Arts from the University of Oklahoma. Though no longer practicing law, he continues to be a member of the Oregon and Florida Bars.
