Tim Hickok - Member

Finance:

I have arranged tax-exempt multifamily bond financing for Hickok-Dible Companies in conjunction with the cities of Merriam, Shawnee, and Topeka, Kansas. I obtained zoning, inducements, acted as liaison between bond counsel and developer, and arranged for private placements of these issues, which totaled $23.7 million. I arranged debt and equity structures for our three Section-42 garden apartment complexes.  We have in recent years financed several deals via conduit type structures but have done FNMA deals before as well.

Building:

As a member of the Greater Kansas City Homebuilders Association, I acted early in my career as general contractor for both speculative and custom single family homes, ranging in price from $100,000 to $550,000. I handled construction scheduling for Pinegate Apartments (participated in construction progress reporting for the lender, and created computer models for drawsheet preparation). In the early 1990’s we completed 150 units of tax-credit financed fourplexes in Blue Springs, Missouri, and 96 garden-style apartments in Tulsa in mid 1996.  We completed 144 luxury Townhomes in Olathe, Kansas in 2003, and sold them in 2004.  We recently finished construction of a similar product in Shawnee, Kansas, 102 units comprising approximately 103,000 square feet.  I have a modest amount of experience with office rehab as well.  We have developed numerous single-family subdivisions in Kansas City, including Leawood South, Pinehurst Estates, Mission Pines, and Pembroke Court.

Management:

I am currently President of Hickok-Dible Companies, Kansas City's oldest and most prolific (7000+ homes built since 1904) homebuilder. While we still develop single family housing in the Kansas City area, our recent focus has been on building and acquiring multifamily projects.   While we have built and sold a dozen complexes throughout the Midwest, current ownership and management consists of the following, appraised at approximately 140 million in aggregate:

·       Pinegate West Apartments, Shawnee, Kansas:  Built new in 1987, 286 units; originally municipal bond financed, now under a FNMA loan.

·       Terrace on Walnut Kansas City, Missouri: 1031 Acquisition (2022); 38 apartments, 1 commercial unit  FNMC financed.

·       1914 Main, Kansas City, Missouri: Acquired 1031 with the above project in 2022. 44 apartments, 1 commercial unit.

·       The Mansions at Canyon Creek, Lenexa, Kansas: 214 luxury garden-style apartments acquired through bank foreclosure then completed in 2103.

Design:

I designed and built the 1980 Greater Kansas City Homebuilder's Association "Pick of Parade" home for energy conservation and solar design. I participated in designing Pinegate Apartments (1984), a 222-unit complex in Merriam, Kansas, featured in the September 1986 issue of Professional Builder Magazine. I take a very active role in the design of all garden apartment complexes to assure a form/function balance and because my company most often acts as general contractor.  I also have acquired, zoned, platted, and constructed 12 of the single-family subdivisions in the company’s history.

Personal:

I am 66 years old and married with have two children - Anna Revare Hickok and James Butler Hickok (the real name of his ancestor, Wild Bill).  For 12 years I taught business to 12-year-olds at schools in my area as a part of the "Project Business" program of Junior Achievement.  I own the west branch of the Outdoor Education Laboratory (a children’s day camp) and am a federally licensed falconer, which is why my golf handicap is increasing on a daily basis.  I appeared on “The Late Show with David Letterman” on May 14, 2008 with “Jungle Jack” Hanna and my peregrine falcon Zero.
