"I started from the ground up," he said, recalling cleaning up construction sites as a young man on one of his late father's construction crews. Kaplan moved the company to Atlanta from New Jersey in the 1980s, delivering the city's first build-to-rent project, 450 Piedmont, in 1997. Today, the company has developed more than 30,000 residential and 3 million square feet of non-residential projects in the North and Southeast, and is working on several projects in Georgia.

Incoming AIA Atlanta president Ian Hunter seeks to diversify architecture

Ian Hunter did not quite understand the dynamic when, weeks after moving to Atlanta about seven years ago from Bucks County, Pa., he called the offices of the American Institute of Architects (AIA) Atlanta chapter and declared he was running for president. The current president called Hunter and said, “It’s nice to see you’re interested in becoming involved in AIA but…who the heck are you?” recalled Hunter, an associate principal at tvsdesign, with a laugh. “He said, ‘You’re new to Atlanta. Take some time and establish your roots here.’” Hunter did, and next year will become AIA Atlanta president.
