Director, RREEF Real Estate Development
Over the past three years we have worked with Scott Lucas in the developmentof one of the largest ‘lifestyle / entertainment centers’ in the United States. He was the creative force in bringing the project together and helped coagulate the entire team both from a conceptual as well as economic standpoint. His professionalism, integrity and attention to detail thru-out the development process - from design, economic analysis to legal documentation - was instrumental in bringing the project to the success it is today.

I have worked with Scott Lucas for over ten years, both as his representative and as opposing counsel. I have the utmost respect for his knowledge and skills as a real estate developer, but what puts him above his peers in his ability to solve problems in a timely and pragmatic fashion. Finally, his ability to lead a team of professionals and engender confidence from governmental officials, leads to projects that are beneficial to the project investors and communities alike.

I worked with Scott on “Deer Park” a lifestyle retail project near Schaumburg (Chicago), Illinois. It was a large, complicated project requiring zoning, entitlements, construction and financing, and Scott quarterbacked all of this with tenacity and a great grasp of the numbers (ie. costs, revenue potential and returns) at every point in the process so we always knew exactly where we were and we could adjust immediately to any proposal made to us by in an instant....We also made alot of changes to the layout and tenants in the project as we wenty along and Scott was on top of that too...In short, he is very “hands on” and lives and breathes every aspect of the deal.

Pepper Construction’s relationship with Scott Lucas started with the development and construction of a large Lifestyle Center in Deer Park, Illinois. This innovative, complex project was a challenge which culminated in a huge success. The development brought out the best in everyone involved, especially with Scott”s foresight, leadership, integrity, professionalism, honesty and innovative thinking leading the way.

President, FMP Development Corporation
FMP Development Corporation, the tenth largest shopping center developer in the 1980’s, experienced major financial difficulties brought about by the severe downturn in the economy in the early 1990’s. As President and principal stockholder of the company, I engaged Scott Lucas, a workout specialist, and he literally saved the company from probable bankruptcy. Scott is somewhat of a financial genius in real estate financing and a person of absolute integrity.
