Peter Rienks brings over 17 years of commercial real estate and utility-scale energy development expertise. He started his development career in 2009—capitalizing on the era’s historic federal stimulus packages and energy grants to enter the renewable sector—and has since driven high-performing commercial projects across the retail, congregational, office, specialty coffee, and vacation rental sectors.

His background includes developing over $200 million in large-scale utility solar farms across North America and the Caribbean, with major installations throughout Florida, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Minnesota, Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona. Peter led all facets of these capital-intensive developments, from deal sourcing and incentive structures to design, contracting, capital raising, and execution. Several of the solar initiatives were delivered directly for premier utility partners, including Southern Company, AEP, ComEd, and DTE Energy (Detroit Edison)—highlighted by a flagship $100 million utility project.

Today, Peter applies this cross-industry rigor to leading TRG, one of the region’s fastest-growing commercial real estate general contractor and development firm. Holding a Bachelor of Science in Architecture from Lawrence Technological University and an Executive MBA from the University of Notre Dame, Peter combines architectural design degree with institutional business strategy to execute large-scale, high-impact commercial developments.
