Randall founded Global Ventures Group to bring experienced and capable partners from North America to develop large scale mixed use, residential, entertainment and retail developments in the Middle East. He works closely with the US Chamber of Commerce and with investment and development authorities in Middle East countries to strengthen the economic relationships and encourage foreign investments.
Prior to his work in the MENA Region, Randall had extensive experience in acquisition, rehabilitation, development, management, and disposition of commercial and residential real estate throughout the United States. Over the course of his career, his companies have developed over $1 billion of commercial and residential properties, encompassing approximately 2 million square feet of retail and commercial space, which has included the development and management of nearly 10,000 residential units.
In his earliest years as a real estate developer, Randall worked with the City of Chicago to establish the Sheridan Park Historic District, which protected historical structures in the neighborhood and encouraged rehabilitation and investment. Randall was also part of numerous public-private partnerships to improve the City of Chicago’s retail offerings in the public transportation stations and participated in numerous community-based and publicly sponsored developments. It was these beginnings where Randall learned the importance and significance of working with the public sector to promote quality projects that are supported by local communities to the benefit all parties involved.
