Before joining Bradford Allen, Seán was chief engineer for CBRE at 150 North Riverside Plaza, a 1.2 million-square-foot, Class A building where he was part of a property management team that guided the property to the BOMA 2021 International TOBY award in the over 1 million square foot category. During his time with CBRE, Seán also received the 2023 BOMA/Chicago Gold Circle Award for Engineer of the Year and the 2022 CBRE National Engineering Exceptional Performance Award, displaying dedication and excellence in the field.

Before joining CBRE at 150 North Riverside, Seán started up 1330 W. Fulton for Sterling Bay. Navigating the commissioning process there while overseeing the ten tenant buildouts provided Seán with a unique perspective that illuminated gaps in the handoff of built environments to the property management team.
