What recent project, transaction, or accomplishment are you most proud of? In 2023 we completed a new workplace for Nuro, a startup robotics company in Silicon Valley, California that develops and operates a fleet of fully electric self-driving delivery vehicles. The Nuro project was brought to us by a previous Elkus Manfredi client who is a member of Nuro’s leadership. We were deeply honored that he entrusted us with Nuro’s first headquarters, excited to work with such an advanced technology start-up, and extremely proud to deliver a beautiful, airy, innovative workspace for Nuro that fully captures the brand. The cherry on top was a 10-page feature on Nuro’s headquarters in Interior Design magazine!
