Owner representation
We offer a broad portfolio of owner’s representative experience. Our success in growing this portfolio can be attributed to the signature of our service: we think, act, and manage like an owner—because we are an owner. We are and have been in the owner’s shoes for decades, and nothing makes us more aware of the owner’s need to balance the day-to-day budgetary and long-term management requirements than being in that same position.
We have provided owner’s representative services through every phase of development, design and construction across an exceptional range of project types: mixed-use projects that blend residential, office and retail, healthcare/research facilities, university buildings–academic and administrative, secondary education and long-term care facilities.
