The firm
Tucker, led by Richard and Aaron Tucker, is a Chicago-based real estate investment, development, and management platform focused on retail and on complex mixed-use projects combining multifamily and retail. As Founder and Chief Executive Officer, Richard brings over 40 years of experience and more than 10 million square feet of transactions.
The firm combines institutional discipline with local market insight. The Tucker platform includes Tucker Development, focused on the ground-up creation and repositioning of high-quality mixed-use environments; Tucker Acquisitions, which targets necessity-based retail and value-add investment opportunities; and Tucker Advisors, which brings that same capability to third-party owners and institutions. Together, these complementary divisions allow Tucker to integrate investment, development, and management expertise across its portfolio.

Founded in 1996, Tucker has developed, redeveloped, acquired, entitled, and advised on over 7 million square feet of retail and mixed-use properties, representing approximately $1 billion in total capitalizations. By partnering with leading institutional investors and capital providers, Tucker has built a reputation for experience, excellence, and integrity, delivering lasting value to its partners and the communities it serves.
