Neal Howard

"I am passionate about the thoughtful manipulation of materials and textures to create interesting spaces that add to our city."

Authenticity. That word has driven Neal’s real estate investment career since he entered the construction management industry more than 14 years ago, reflecting both his approach to fostering relationships and the quality of the work he strives to deliver. With significant experience in construction and design at companies including Related Beal, Duke Realty Corporation and Skanska USA Building, Inc., Neal’s work has spanned healthcare, office, research and development, residential and hotel investments throughout the Southeast, Southwest and Northeast.

At Transom, Neal utilizes his expertise in building teams and putting projects together to execute a vision that pairs high quality standards with the thoughtful manipulation of materials. For Neal, it all comes down to creating engaging places that deliver unique design that stands out while fitting in. Boston’s neighborhoods - walkable and well-connected to one another - offer a distinctive opportunity to deliver tailored design solutions that reflect each neighborhood’s physical and cultural influences.

Neal, who lives in the South End with his wife and daughter, also enjoys traveling (backpacking from the Pacific to the Caribbean across Panama and nuptials in Italy, to name a few) and spending quality time with his family visiting friends and getting outside in New Hampshire. Neal earned a degree in Construction Engineering and Management from Purdue University and a Master of Science in Real Estate Development from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
