Bahnhof is an independent development and advisory firm focused on adaptive reuse projects. This focus is the out-growth of the shared experience of its founders, Joseph Schlais and John MacGregor, who have worked together on a variety of domestic and international rail and energy projects since 2002.

Within energy, his work centered on advising the senior leadership of electric utilities in areas of both strategy and operations, with a specific emphasis on large, transformational programs of work greater than $200M in value.
