Matt Swanson

Principal, Commercial/Multifamily Practice Leader

Throughout the many roles that Matt has held throughout his career, he continues to champion understanding of the Elara vision and effective communications between all internal and external stakeholders to ensure energy efficient, practical designs. 

As Principal, Board Member and Commercial, Multifamily and Developer Practice Leader, I believe my role centers around advancing Elara’s core principles and vision both internally and externally to achieve a lasting legacy within the built environment.   

Our vision statement stands as a testament to our storied past, while at the same time articulates a purpose and a path forward for our future as a firm.

When I am not at Elara, you can find me on the golf course, enjoying a glass of wine or two, hitting the slopes or enjoying an island in the Caribbean, but either way I am surrounded by family and friends.
