About
Javier is a Director with extensive experience leading the architectural design and master planning of large scale mixed-use development projects, from both KPF’s London and New York offices. His global portfolio includes 14 million square feet of commercial developments in UK, Europe, Asia, South America and the Middle East.
Javier leads the design of the 3 million square foot LJZ Four Lots development in Shanghai, part of a larger LJZ Qiantan development.
