Steelhead in the conversation.
Phil Holoubek, President & CEO of Steelhead Development, sits down with the DevelopLex podcast to talk about what it really takes to transform a downtown core. The conversation covers mixed-use infill development in Lexington, the philosophy behind community-driven placemaking, and the projects that have defined his two-decade career — including the Nunn Building, Main & Rose, Carson's, and The MET, a 75,000 sq. ft. mixed-use facility built for Community Ventures on Lexington's East End. Phil speaks candidly about the discipline required to execute complex urban infill, how public and private capital come together, and what separates projects that close from those that don't.
