I try to create distinctive and creative environments for people through design, architecture, and planning. The real estate stuff is secondary. Somehow, it has worked. Along with an extremely talented group of people, and next to neighbors with mad skills, we continue to attract amazing businesses, many of them new, all of them new to downtown Holyoke . . . and have been doing so for ten years running.
VertitechIT is just now settling into their new space, bringing a dozen or so high paying tech jobs with them. It has been a challenging project and my most ambitious one to date in terms of design. Working with small budgets and limited staffing, I usually limit custom finishes and work on any one project. After years of building up a project team I am able to stretch that a bit more and more on each project. The result in Vertitech’s space is custom steel and glass walls, reused historic long leaf pine doors and wood screens and a reused fire door among other features. I hope you like it!
