Mark Humphreys
CEO Humphreys & Partners Architects, L.P.
Mark Humphreys is the CEO of the largest multifamily architecture firm in the U.S., designing approximately 12-15% of the U.S. apartment market. The firm has 8 offices from coast to coast (including Irvine and the Bay Area in California), and has done work in all but two states. Additionally, their office never sleeps with 3 overseas offices working while the U.S. sleeps. His firm has developed “The Big House”®, e-Urban® and the ground-breaking e-Max® for apartments and the Home-Rise® for high-rise residential.
Recently, Mr. Humphreys was one of 12 leaders in the multifamily industry to meet with Federal Reserve Chairman, Ben Bernanke, to speak individually to the Chairman about the difficulties the development and architectural communities are having. Mr. Humphreys met just last week with HUD Secretary Donovan to discuss the HUD 221(d)4 program and the effects that program has on the multifamily industry. He presented data compiled from Humphreys & Partners’ experience with this program, and HUD is currently reviewing in an effort to streamline the process and facilitate applications.
He regularly represents his firm’s work at Seminars and Panels for NAHB’s International Builders’ Show, Multifamily Executive Conference, Urban Land Institute and regional conferences. He is a member of NAHB’s Multifamily Leadership Board and Multi-Housing Council, National Multihousing Council, Urban Land Institute, DCFR (Dallas Committee on Foreign Relations), and the American Institute of Architects.
Mr. Humphreys is married and has on his payroll 3 “independent advisors” on Echo Boomers – three daughters all in college, and is an avid pilot. He received his architectural degree from Texas Tech University.
