Instinctively drawn to the challenges and opportunities of the construction business, Kevin Ash has acquired a wealth of experience and expertise in the industry, developing a passion for smart growth and seeing urban renewal as a vital force in the strengthening of inner-city communities. His career began as a Superintendent for Pulte Homes and he continued to gain invaluable experience and knowledge as he moved to Clark Realty Builders, Lincoln Property Company and then to the Holladay Corporation, managing development projects from Massachusetts to Virginia and completing a progression from superintendent to Vice President of a $70 million construction company in just 13 years.
Using knowledge gained from wide experience building projects ranging from single-family homes and multi-family residential housing, urban infill, rehabilitation and low and mid-rise construction, Kevin founded Ellisdale Construction in 2004, fusing a lifetime of knowledge with his passion and ideals.
According to Kevin, “Washington presents such an opportunity for a renaissance in urban living. We want to be on the leading edge of making that happen—by restoring the land and buildings, building with green technology, and revitalizing the District with a variety of high quality, affordable homes.”
Kevin currently lives in Leesburg, Virginia and is the proud father of three children. Kevin and his family enjoy the company of their faithful companion Labrador retriever. In addition, he is an avid outdoorsman and naturalist.
