Robert Kimmerle rejoins architectural firm Kimmerle Group as chief financial officer. Armed with a strong background in financial management, he will focus on financial and consultative support for all real estate development efforts, including modeling/proformas and financial sourcing. Coupled with these responsibilities, Robert will take leadership on other administrative areas within the firm working closely with his father George Kimmerle, president of the firm, and Managing Director Patrick Luzzi to support business development and real estate assignments for the firm’s corporate and health clients.

“I am optimistic about the future growth of Kimmerle Group and am honored to be part of such a talented, seasoned team,” said Robert. “As we continue our expansion plans in the New York metro area and in the United States, we will maintain our focus on philanthropy and pursuit of project work in the areas of residential and commercial real estate, higher education and healthcare.”
