by Illinois Real Estate Journal ReportsChicagoArchitect and planner Peter H. Dominick, Jr. died New Year's Day after a cross-country skiing excursion in Aspen, Colorado. He was 67. The cause was a heart attack, according to his business partners E. Randal Johnson and Thomas Brauer of 4240 Architecture, which is based in both Denver and Chicago, Illinois. Dominick, who was based in Denver, had been the firm's president and chairman. Over a 40-year-long career, Dominick founded two design firms and became design director and principal in another with which he merged his office. "His verve and impeccable connections gave him traction internationally with real estate developers, locally with politicians in his home city, and broadly in the design community," stated Johnson in a release. Johnson and Brauer and the firm's six associate principals plan to continue to operate the 80-person firm whose 2008 volume reached $10 million. No one has yet been named to the position Dominick occupied. While at 4240 Architecture and UDG, Mr. Dominick designed both the Wilderness and Animal Kingdom Lodges in Orlando, among six built commissions for the Walt Disney organization. He was also Principal in Charge of the revitalization of Vail, Colorado; the great Platte River Road Monument in Kearney, Nebraska, a museum that is also a unique bridge across a highway; the new Town Center on the site of the old Stapleton Airport; and the transformation of the section of lower Denver called the Central Platte Valley from old rail yards into a thriving neighborhood now known as Riverfront Park.
