ABOUT ROBERT L. HOLZBACH

As architects, we are agents of change and I’m proud to be leading such a talented and agile team as we continue expanding to new markets and redefine what’s next for the hybrid office landscape.”Rob’s career took off upon joining Hickok Cole in 2004. He rose through the ranks as an architect and designer before setting his sights on firm leadership and ultimately landing his current role as an Owner, Principal, and Director of Commercial Architecture. He embraces our Work that Matters mindset and believes every project should add value beyond expectations, for the owner and end users, as much as for the local neighborhood and broader community. Rob extends that commitment to maintaining and improving his firm’s unique culture, having been responsible for recruitment and retention for over fifteen years. Today, he works with the DEI Council and represents leadership as a general advisor on and champion of its initiatives.Rob freely shares his knowledge within the greater commercial real estate community. He is on the NAIOP Northern Virginia Board of Directors, serving Chair of the Education Committee and sits on the Executive Committee. He also spent seven years on the member AIA|DC Board of Directors, serving as President of the chapter during the tumultuous year of 2020.Rob’s favorite way to unwind is with his wife, son, and two Weimaraners, trekking through the woods or playing in the backyard. After that, a gin martini wouldn’t hurt — straight up, with a twist… stirred, not shaken.
