Real Estate 2025: CLARK, BOB
CEO, BASKERVILL, RICHMOND
Virginia Business //September 2, 2025//
A childhood passion for taking things apart, putting them back together and figuring out how they worked led Clark to Virginia Military Institute for a degree in mechanical engineering. Clark started as a mechanical engineer at Newport News Shipbuilding and served as an Air Force officer for five years. He earned an MBA at William & Mary.
Clark joined Baskervill, one of the state’s most prominent design firms, more than 25 years ago and was named president in 2004. Since then, his focus has been on growing the company by uncovering employees’ strengths — design, technical, project management or relationship building — so they can best serve the company and find a clear path to leadership roles.
Recent projects include Nightingale Ice Cream Sandwiches’ $5.8 million expansion in Richmond and the forthcoming Shockoe Project, a museum and outdoor space to memorialize enslaved Richmonders designed by Baskervill’s principal and board chair, Burt Pinnock.
Baskervill received a 2025 Merit Award from the Congress for the New Urbanism for its work on the project.
