In the role, he will work closely with the development team to plan, direct, coordinate and oversee the successful delivery of VanTrust projects.

Denley brings over 14 years of experience in commercial real estate as a preconstruction manager and project manager in California and Illinois, with a few of his most notable projects being W.W. Grainger, Inc., an 820,000-square-foot, build-to-suit distribution center, and Keystone West Building A, a 529,000-square-foot industrial warehouse, both in Patterson, Calif. “My design/build background aligns with the philosophies here at VanTrust, and I hope to draw from and incorporate my expertise into helping develop and deliver.”
In addition to being recognized by the U.S. Green Building Council as a LEED Accredited Professional, Denley is actively involved with NAIOP, graduating from the NAIOP-SoCal Commercial Real Estate Development Association’s Young Professionals Group in 2012, and holds an Associate Constructor Certification (AC) through the American Institute of Constructors.
