Leading the company is Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Richard E. Jacobs, who co-founded the firm with his late brother, David H. Jacobs.

Mr. Jacobs is widely acknowledged as one of the true
pioneers of today’s shopping center industry but is also
known around the world as the owner of the Cleveland Indians baseball franchise from 1986 to 2001. Under his leadership, the Indians became of one Major League Baseball’s most admired powerhouse teams, winning two American League Pennants and six Central Division Championships. And the team’s record of 455 consecutive sellouts at Jacobs Field may well be one so daunting that it is never broken by another team.
