Guiding a company in the commercial real estate space is never easy even in the best of times. In times of disruption and upheaval, as the last two years have been, it can be downright difficult. And we can expect another year of choppy waters as inflation grips our economy, to say nothing of the uncertainty brought on by the Russian-Ukrainian war. It is these years where identifying and acknowledging the top leaders in our industry matter the most. On the following pages you will find our selection for Best Bosses in commercial real estate—men and women who have had an indelible impact on their companies and our industry even as they navigated the unprecedented events of the last two years.

ERNESTO LOPES As a structural engineer in his native Brazil, Ernesto Lopes has extensive knowledge and work experience designing formwork and shoring systems for bridges, high-rise buildings and infrastructure projects. He is passionate about helping solve the US housing crisis; a goal that intensified during the pandemic. In 2012, Lopes co-founded AHS Residential, a full-service real estate company with a mission to offer a reasonably-priced living alternative to rent-burdened individuals and families in major metropolitan areas. As president and CEO of AHS Residential, Lopes is responsible for leading the development and execution of long-term business strategies.

Lopes is described as an exemplary leader and entrepreneur with a clear vision and an innate ability to evaluate risk. Team members say that he is a motivator and passionate about the organization’s mission and the importance of embracing culture in the workplace. As an avid reader, Lopes always recommends books to his employees that will help them find their true passion in life. His concern for his employees was evident in the plans that he quickly put into motion during the COVID-19 pandemic. He continued to be strategic and thoughtful in his approach, and not one employee was laid off.
