Regina Stilp

Principal

Regina is a Founding Principal at Farpoint Development. Throughout her career she has led the design and strategic transformation of various obsolete buildings into highly desirable properties. Through her work she has tried to honor Chicago’s architectural treasures by preserving and transforming them for future generations to enjoy. Her current efforts include the renovation of the historic Uptown Theatre, re-imaging industrial buildings along the Elston Corridor and the visioning of the Burnham Lakefront master development project.
Previously she spent twenty years as a Principal and Director of Design at Sterling Bay. In that position she was the guiding hand in the design and execution of some of the most creative redevelopments in Chicago, including the transformation of an art deco printer’s building at 400 S. Jefferson into Sara Lee headquarters and the remaking of a 100 year-old obsolete cold storage building into Google’s Midwest headquarters. Through her vision, creativity and ability to recognize the cadence of a community she has been able to develop assets that not only fit but are additive to the surrounding neighborhoods.
Regina received her Bachelor of Arts at the University of Iowa and lives in Wilmette with her husband and three children. She remains active with political volunteering and championing women’s rights.
