David Hrizak is the co-founder and CEO of The Streamline Companies, a vertically integrated real estate investment firm specializing in medical office and Class B office buildings. With nearly 30 years in commercial real estate, David has done it all—from brokerage and development to construction and investing.
After retiring at 49, David quickly realized his purpose wasn’t in stepping away—it was in coming back. He returned to the industry not for the money, but for the mission: to help others build lasting wealth and create meaningful legacies through real estate.
David leads with grit, patience, and integrity. Raised by a tough grandmother in Chicago, he learned early on the value of discipline and loyalty. Today, he brings that same no-nonsense, heart-first mentality into every conversation, investment, and mentorship relationship.
He also serves as Board Chairman for Oakwood Creative Care, a nonprofit serving individuals with Alzheimer’s and dementia—a cause close to his heart.
