Partnership

During one of my earlier blog posts I spoke about the importance of core values in defining who we are as a firm, and one of our five values is PARTNERSHIP. Recently, TRO JungBrannen was honored to share the NEWIRE (New England Women in Real Estate) Networking Award for our work as Architect of Record on the W Boston Hotel. This award is a timely reminder of the power of partnership.

Our definition of PARTNERSHIP begins with the statement: “we value the synergy of interdisciplinary collaboration,” and in no project has this tenet been more evident than in the W Boston Hotel. There were seven NEWIRE members from six different collaborating firms on the team, each with a vital role to play in the permitting, design, and construction of this elegant 28 story hotel and residence project, designed by William Rawn Associates and built by Bovis Lend Lease.

Partnership…..perhaps Congress could try that approach for a change!
