What recent project, transaction or accomplishment are you most proud of? The MIT Volpe Exchange South Parcel is a complex eight-acre mixed-use phased redevelopment of a superblock in Cambridge’s Kendall Sq. The project will add approximately 2.4 million s/f, consisting of below-grade parking, three residential towers, three commercial towers, and various open spaces for public use. Managing eight project teams, while shepherding the goals and aspirations of the client has been both challenging and rewarding. I have learned and honed new skills that will aid in my future development success. I am honored to be a part of such a transformative project for both the client and surrounding community.
