Chris Rapczynski
Chris is a seasoned professional in the construction industry with over 30 years of experience. As the founder and president of Sleeping Dog Properties, he has led the company to great heights.
Chris's journey began as a carpenter and tradesman, providing him with a deep understanding and appreciation for the various aspects of the industry. He initiated his career in the construction industry by renovating homes and commercial spaces in the Back Bay neighborhood of Boston. Through persistence and hard work, he gradually secured larger, more sophisticated projects, quickly establishing his worth in the Boston construction industry. To solidify his mark, he founded Sleeping Dog Properties, Inc. in 1993, naming it after his old black lab, who could always be found covered in sawdust, asleep on job sites.
Over the last three decades, Chris has developed Sleeping Dog into one of the most highly regarded and thriving general contracting firms in the region. Collaborating with exceptionally skilled designers and architects, Chris and the SDP team have overseen projects exceeding $500 million in value across diverse sectors, including high-end residential, boutique commercial, and distinctive hospitality ventures. In his ongoing efforts to nurture and advance Sleeping Dog for the future, Chris diligently focuses on recruiting top-notch personnel, investing in cutting-edge tools, and promoting exceptional projects. He firmly believes in the power of cleanliness, communication, and competency as the driving forces behind the success of his team.
In his personal time, Chris thrives as a husband and father to three lovely children. While his weeknights and weekends are typically dedicated to coaching soccer, Chris also enjoys running, being on the water, and attending car shows. A lifelong dog lover, his family has two Portuguese Water Dogs.
