Justin Patwin is responsible for putting Farpoint Development on the map in the Southeastern United States. He is leveraging his experience entitling, structuring, managing, and planning complex megaprojects, such as the Marina Bay Sands in Singapore and Southbank in Chicago, to create game-changing multifamily and industrial developments in the Southeast.
Thoughtful development spurs further economic growth in a local economy. An example of this is the adaptive reuse of Alys Mill, a shuttered former textile mill being converted into loft apartments outside Greenville, S.C.. Another example is the development of a 683-acre turf farm in Macon County, Ala., near Tuskegee, which is being developed into a regional logistics hub. The Regional East Alabama Logistics (REAL) Park development will create thousands of jobs to fuel growth in an underinvested part of the United States. These share the same firmwide vision as the Bronzeville Lakefront megaproject on Chicago’s South Side.
Justin has come full circle based in Asheville, N.C., and having grown up in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Over the last two decades, his career has taken him to Singapore, Los Angeles, and Chicago, where he has worked extensively on commercial, residential, and hospitality projects.
Throughout his career, Justin has been guided by his firm belief that the role of architecture and design is to lead social and environmental change, something he learned at Auburn University, working closely with Samuel Mockbee at the Rural Studio.
In addition to his degree in architecture from Auburn University, he obtained his MBA from the University of Chicago’s Booth School of Business.
