Bell brings more than 30 years of construction and development experience to the role. Bell first joined Hunt Midwest in March 2011. Under his leadership, Hunt Midwest’s underground business complex, SubTropolis, has expanded to more than 9.5 million square feet. He has also led the delivery of 4 million square feet of build-to-suit facilities for companies including Grainger, Ace Hardware and LKQ.
