Alyssa Leon has been in the construction industry all her life, but it’s been her professional career for the last 14 years.
With a bachelor’s degree in Construction Management from California State University, Sacramento, Alyssa started her career as an intern with Swinerton Builders and worked her way through several departments to become a Project Manager before leaving the company in 2019. At Swinerton, Alyssa built several notable projects such as The Kimpton Sawyer Hotel at DOCO and Cache Creek Casino & Hotel Tower Expansion, to name a couple. Next, Alyssa spent three years with S+B James Construction as a Sr. Project Manager, where she took the UC Davis Health Point West Medical Office Building from a napkin sketch concept to occupancy under a Design-Build delivery method. After completing this project, Alyssa pivoted her career into Commercial Real Estate Development, partnering with John on owned portfolio assets and owner representation in commercial development projects.
