Matt Menna
Managing Principal
As Managing Principal and Chief Design Officer at Sterling Bay, Matt leads the firm’s creative design efforts across its national portfolio of award-winning office and multifamily developments and is responsible for guiding all projects requiring operational oversight or master plan design expertise. Such projects include Lincoln Yards, a more than 70-acre urban infill site that will transform a former industrial corridor along the Chicago River into a vibrant mixed-use community connecting Lincoln Park and Bucktown, as well as Victory Ranch, a 6,700-acre luxury residential community outside Park City, Utah. In supervising the development of Victory Ranch, Matt negotiated key debt and equity financing for the venture and established a modern, family-friendly, and well-appointed mountain retreat, which is nearly fully sold. Sterling Bay’s current portfolio consists of 55 properties owned and $4.7B assets under management.
Matt is also Managing Principal of Four Corners Tavern Group, Inc., which operates or invests in over 20 restaurants, bars, and hospitality ventures. He oversees the philanthropic arm of Four Corners, donating to over 50 charitable entities each year. Prior to joining Sterling Bay in 2012, Matt spent 17 years at William Blair, where he managed assets valued at $600 million for high-net-worth clients. Matt earned a BS in Business Finance from the University of Illinois at Champaign-Urbana.
