About Us

George Sullivan, P.E. is the Principal and CEO of Eco Smart Building, P.C. Eco Smart’s project portfolio has covered land planning and use, commercial office, retail, educational, mixed use, low and mid rise development, and redevelopment of existing built infrastructure assets. Four hundred and eighty project units have achieved energy conservation targets of 75% better than Energy Star, reducing operating cost and increasing construction quality, occupant comfort and indoor air quality as well as reducing the environmental footprint of the project. In the current real estate market these projects are considered “dark green,” with substantially higher rates of pre-leasing along with longer term leases and higher presales than conventional projects. For 15 years prior to founding Eco Smart Building, George served in senior engineering and operational management positions in several multi-national organizations and professional service firms.

He is a National Science Foundation Scholar and Fellow, Walter P. McCrone Scholar in Microscopy, American Cancer Society Scholarship Award recipient, American Lung Association Scholar, United States Navy Fellowship Award recipient, and holds 6 patents.
