Our
History

Our unique award-winning firm was founded in 1980 by Kerry Levin, AIA, to produce high-quality, innovative residential and commercial Design. In response to our client's demand for more efficient and cost-effective project delivery, we added Construction Management and General Contracting services in 1984.

In 1986, we began providing Property Management services to maintain our increasing portfolio of residential and commercial properties. Responding to our client's desire for "one-stop services," we began providing Real Estate Development and Brokerage services in 1989.

Today, we combine the talents of our diverse staff to produce the most comprehensive building services available. From an interior renovation to an entire downtown, our purpose is evident in every facet of our work.

Our
Values
Innovation
We fully commit to seek creative and unique solutions for every assignment. We stay safely ahead of the competition and marketplace: we don't follow trends by staying in the middle of the pack, and are not so far ahead that we lose the rest of the team. We seek to improve not only the work of others, but our own as well.  

                                                   
Responsiveness
We honor our client's goals and manage their resources as if they were our own, always balancing our professional judgement with their dreams. We listen and try to hear not only what is said, but what isn't. We communicate truthfully, patiently, and from the heart.
                                                      
Integrity
We strive to honor our committments to those whose relationships our work depends: our clients and tenants, contractors and vendors, families and friends. We strive to balance the needs of all we serve, seeking win-win solutions for all interactions. We honor the trust put in us by placing our client's needs before our own.

Excellence
We strive for achieving the best results possible, whether it be award-winning design, unparallelled construction quality, highest property maintenance standards, or thorough and complete real estate transactions. We study and learn from the good work done by others, and don't accept mediocrity in our own. We strive for excellence in all that we undertake.

                                                    
Passion 
We seek fun in everything we do, in our work and in our relationships. Our love of people and our work is evident in how we positively affect everyone we meet, with dignity, compassion, and humor. We believe attitudes are contagious, and ours is worth catching.
