Leon Walker

Board Member

As the Managing Partner of DL3 Realty, Mr. Walker works closely with municipalities, anchor institutions, and Fortune 500 companies to develop high-impact commercial real estate projects. DL3’s developments are more than just bricks and mortar–they provide a stimulus that ultimately lifts economic prospects and quality-of-life for local residents. Prior to DL3 Realty, Mr. Walker worked at Jones Lang LaSalle, and Citicorp Securities. He is a graduate of the University of Chicago’s Law School and Booth School of Business, and received his Bachelor’s degree from the University of Michigan.

Why Leon serves on the Board

I joined the board in 2013 while our firm was developing a Whole Foods grocery store in the historically disinvested neighborhood of Englewood on Chicago’s south side, and as we continue to open grocery stores in Chicago’s food deserts, the Greater Chicago Food Depository’s extensive network and diligent advocacy, makes them the ideal partner to work with in the battle against food insecurity.
