Mixed Use Developments

As Senior Vice President for Development at The Kaempfer Company in the mid-1980s and early 1990s, Byrne Murphy managed over $600 million of mixed-use development in the Washington DC area. Designed by some of the country’s most renown architects, including the office of IM Pei (Pei Cobb Freed & Partners), Caesar Pelli, and Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, the projects included the iconic Warner Building re-development on Pennsylvania Avenue, featuring its historic Warner Theatre. Other projects were 1900 K Street, The Investment Building, and 1150 18th Street.

The various projects included office, retail, arts space, grocery stores, churches, historic preservation, and theatre space. Several projects were also involved in pioneering the practice of Transferable Development Rights (“TDRs”).
