ABOUT THE FOUNDER & TEAM
Allen Barbarich
Allen Barbarich is the founder and owner of the Entrata Project. Al was born and raised in Detroit, MI. He moved to Las Vegas in 2001, and shortly thereafter became interested in the tremendous potential of neighboring Mohave County, Arizona. Al is a Las Vegas based entrepreneur, real estate investor, and developer. He is also a very successful securities trader, which has afforded him the opportunity to acquire many large tracts of land in Mohave County over the past 18 years.
​
Al has personally financed and/or developed over 1.5 million square feet of industrial, warehouse, logistics, and office space. His most recent project in Harvard, Illinois was the purchase and revitalization of the former Motorola World Headquarters. This facility sat vacant for over 20 years and is now home to U.S. Medical Glove Manufacturing, which is slated to employ 1,200 people, reviving the local economy by bringing the manufacturing of critical medical supplies back to the United States.
​
Al resides in Las Vegas with his wife, Lauren, and their two daughters. Al enjoys spending time with his family, rock climbing, and aviation. Al is a licensed commercial pilot. He holds a Bachelor’s in Accounting and a Master’s in Business Administration, both from Michigan State University.
