Highland Bank Appoints Steven Faber to Board of Directors

Highland Bank is pleased to announce the appointment of Steven Faber to its Board of Directors, at the July 2025 meeting. With over 40 years of experience in commercial real estate, construction, and development, Faber brings a wealth of business and board governance expertise that will support Highland Bank’s continued strategic growth.

A St. Cloud native and Dartmouth College graduate, Faber began his career in real estate brokerage before moving into development and leadership roles with firms such as Trammell Crow Company and Heitman Properties. In 1995, he acquired KM Building Company, managing $16 million in annual commercial construction and overseeing landmark projects like the redevelopment of the Lakeland Floral building in Minneapolis and Melrose Apartments on the University of Minnesota campus.

Faber later served as owner’s representative for Go Wild LLC, leading the $71 million transformation of downtown St. Paul’s former Macy’s building into the Treasure Island Center, home to the Minnesota Wild’s NHL practice facility.

He currently serves as a board member and shareholder of a $300 million community bank and maintains ownership interests in multiple real estate ventures.

“We’re excited to welcome Steven to the board,” said Rick Wall, Chairman and CEO of Highland Bank. “His entrepreneurial spirit, connections to the business community and proven leadership will be valuable assets as we look to the future.”

Outside of business, Faber competes in sculling and sweep rowing at national and international levels.
