Chief Executive Officer
Jack Morris
Morris, a Highland Park native, has been in the real estate development business for more than 35 years. He founded Jack Morris Construction when he was 18, specializing in custom home-building. He now serves as President and CEO of Edgewood Properties Inc. which owns, operates and manages commercial and residential real estate around the country.
Based in Piscataway, Edgewood employs more than 600 and Morris still personally oversees all aspects of the company's operations. From its own excavation division performing all site work, demolition and environmental cleanups, to its in-house engineering and architectural firms, to its own law firm and property management company, Morris and his wife and partner, Sheryl Weingarten Morris, provide an expansive vision and hands-on approach, combined with a fiscally conservative philosophy.
The couple are also philanthropists. In May 2025, the Jack and Sheryl Morris Cancer Center in New Brunswick, the state's first freestanding cancer hospital, celebrated their grand opening. "There is nothing that feels better or more gratifying than helping others in need," Morris said." Cancer touches the lives of everyone - and we believe that people should not have to travel to New York or Pennsylvania to get great cancer care. Sheryl and I are so proud that we can play a role in helping to make this dream a reality."
