Stephen B. Wellington, Jr., Founder and President of Wellington Management, Inc.
It is not surprising the top 10 ranked developer Stephen Wellington, drew a large and attentive audience when he recently spoke at UST’s Executive Insight Series on development and property management.
For those who have not yet had the opportunity to meet Steve, he is an impressive and literally towering figure. With a brilliant educational background (cum laude graduate of Yale University, a master’s degree in public affairs from the University of Minnesota and a second master’s degree from Stanford University’s Graduate School of Business), coupled with a largely successful professional track record – both as a entrepreneurial developer and as a leading public development official, all ears were finely tuned to hear what this CRE pro had to say.
As founder and President of St. Paul based, Wellington Management, Inc.

Currently, WMI’s portfolio is valued at $375 million, including approximately 90 properties located throughout the Twin Cities metro. (more…)
