Bio
Jan Wilking is a skilled entrepreneur, community leader and real estate investor with deep roots in the Park City business community. Jan has successfully invested in Park City real estate for 38 years beginning with his first commercial property purchase on Main Street in 1975. His investments have ranged from office condominiums, apartment building, and mixed used to retail. Jan’s Bachelor’s and Master’s Degrees in Architecture gave him the skills to renovate local historic buildings, develop residential and business condominiums, and consult on large scale real estate development.
Jan founded or owned several iconic Park City businesses such as The Park Record newspaper, Park City Magazine and parkcity.com. These businesses thrived for decades under Jan’s skillful management. His involvement with them has also given him the opportunity to interact with the owners of almost every other business in Park City.
Jan has been instrumental in the evolution of Park City from a declining mining town in the early 1970s to the premier world class resort it is today. He co-founded and served as president of the Park City Chamber of Commerce/Convention and Visitors Bureau, Park City Rotary Club, Mountain Trails Foundation, and Snyderville Basin Water Reclamation District (of which, he is currently Board Chair). Jan has served on all of the public open space committees in Summit County since their inception twelve years ago. Those committees advised Park City’s and Summit County’s governments on the negotiation and purchase of more than 60 million dollars’ worth of real estate. Further public service includes Park City Councilperson and Mayor-Pro-Tem. In 2006, Jan was awarded the Lifetime Leadership Award for his service and dedication to Park City
After selling his publishing, marketing, and internet companies in 2005, Jan turned his focus exclusively to real estate. He provided private financing for residential projects and commercial real estate developments. In 2007, he began working with distressed real estate by leading a team that took over the management of nine shopping centers, in various stages of development and in need of development approval, tenant negotiations, leasing, and loan restructuring.
Jan continues to hone his skills and increase his knowledge through formal education. He earned the prestigious Certified Commercial Investment Member (CCIM) designation in early 2010. He regularly participates in symposiums and conferences on distressed real estate. Most recently, he received the International Council of Shopping Centers’ Certificate of Completion for Debt Workout, Transactions and Repositioning of Distressed Assets.
Jan’s intimate knowledge of Park City’s businesses, political climate, residents and real estate, combined with his national experience with distressed properties, make him a key advisor to any investor who is seeking to take advantage of the once-in-a-generation opportunities that exist in today’s real estate market.
