Richard Preis

After receiving a business degree from Louisiana State University in 1972, lifelong Baton Rouge resident Richard Preis joined the staff of Merrill Lynch in institutional sales. He was a senior vice president when he left more than a decade later to open the institutional sales office of Smith Barney. Since 1994, he has been a managing director for Morgan Keegan. For over 30 years, Preis has worked in downtown Baton Rouge and has long understood the potential for riverfront living.

Preis is also the developer of Howell Place mixed-use site in Baton Rouge. Howell Place is home to Baton Rouge’s first full-service airport hotel, the Hilton Garden Inn.

Preis sees the downtown condominiums as a tribute to his great-uncle Rafe Mayer, who came to Baton Rouge in the 19th Century. Beginning in 1864, Mayer and his business associate Joseph Gottlieb acquired large portions of Baton Rouge real estate including numerous downtown properties, many of which still remain in the family. With the half a billion dollars of public and private investment being poured into the rebirth of downtown Baton Rouge, Preis saw the need for downtown living on the river.

Richard Preis is a co-developer of RiverPlace Condominiums and in the character of his family legacy; he is a visionary, shaping dreams into reality.

Michael Albritton

Michael Albritton was born and raised in Baton Rouge and attended University of Louisiana at Lafayette.

In 1979, Albritton moved to Atlanta where he built homes under the name of Reserve Equities. Upon the death of his father, Dr. Stirling Albritton, in 1993 he assumed responsibility of the family business. The business is comprised of various investments in minerals, lands, apartment complexes and timber.

Albritton is married to the former Leslie Greely, a native of Baton Rouge and former executive in the commercial construction industry. The Albritton’s recently returned home to reside permanently in Baton Rouge. A key incentive for relocation is the excitement over the revitalization of Downtown Baton Rouge as represented by RiverPlace Condominiums.
