TEAM

There's a symbiotic relationship between good leadership and a good team. Restoration St. Louis has combined visionary leadership with outstanding professionals within their respected disciplines to create a successful team capable of achieving the impressive list of accomplishments you see outlined on this website.

Amrit Gill

Chairman of the Board Born 1966 - Jalandhar, India, - Gill arrived in St. Louis in 1988 pursuing a Masters in Business Administration at Washington University after completing his undergraduate studies in history and archeology at St. Stephens College in India. During his studies at Washington University - Gill would discover the two greatest loves of his life: His wife to be Amy Harris and the architecture of Saint Louis. 
 
In 1990, a three-family structure in the University City neighborhood which had fallen into disrepair and bankruptcy, was rescued by the Gills marking the couple's first foray into real estate. 
 
Since then Gill has become a vanguard of urban renewal, renowned for his collected, personable leadership style and deft ability to see both the forest *and* the trees. 
 
Gill's fearless passion has enabled Restoration St. Louis to evolve from a husband and wife team working out of an SUV to a 100+ employee enterprise owning and managing over 1000 residential apartment units. 
 
Credits to Gill's vision include multi-million dollar renovations of architectural treasures including The Coronado, The Moolah Temple, Lindell Towers East and West, Theresa School and others. 
 
Today, the Gills are considered one of the few major players in the now thriving revitalization of St. Louis.

Amy Gill

Chief Executive Officer The old saying "Behind every great man there's an even greater woman" doesn't accurately apply to the CEO of Restoration St. Louis' wife and high-power teammate Amy Gill. We'd rather say: "BESIDE every great man there's an equally great woman." 
 
Gill, a graduate of University of Kentucky in Political Science, has served as full-partner and hands-on manager for every development project undertaken with husband Amrit since their first in 1990. Gill personally supervises construction, architectural and design details for their residential and commercial properties by working closely with architects and contractors on current projects.
