Being recognized on the ENR 400 for the first time at #375. This is a tremendous achievement for having been in business for only 20 years. With ENR as the primary publication for the construction industry, this designation shows our breadth and scope, and cohesiveness as a company, reinforcing NEI as an industry leader in both the Northeast and Southeast.
Our success is a testament to the hard work and collaborative effort of our employees.
I took a risk building Hancock Estates, a very high-end apartment complex in Chestnut Hill with finishes that are comparable to the highest end condos in downtown Boston. The building is geared to empty nesters selling their homes in the area, not wanting to leave their neighborhood.
The property offers multiple amenity spaces that gives them a more relaxed lifestyle in their worry free downsized new home. Interior amenities include concierge, café/community room, fitness center, business center/conference room, activity and gaming rooms, with three living rooms.
Joining The Masiello Group commercial associates in the role of vice president of commercial sales and having the privilege of expanding the commercial lines of business. Having spent many years in sales, owning & operating businesses, and managing teams of people, this new role was a natural progression for me, and I am excited and proud to be leading this team to new heights in the coming years.
Our most notable project in 2018 was the comprehensive masonry repair of a series of residential apartment buildings owned by Hemenway Apartments in Boston’s Fenway neighborhood.
Our greatest accomplishment was strategic growth. Acquisition of two companies and establishing an additional office represent the culmination of thoughtful, engaging collaboration between like-minded professionals. The acquisition of Noonan & McDowell, Billerica and H.W. Moore Associates, Boston added locations and employees that serve diversification, strengthen client reach and ensure ample resources to meet needs of existing and future clients. It also helps our employees’ needs having office locations throughout Mass. Establishing a Newburyport office provides similar benefits. The area has ongoing development and faces difficult coastal environmental issues. Our diverse team can handle those challenges. Strategic growth has exceeded expectations which is a testament to our people.
2018 was a fantastic year for Brennan Consulting.
We are one of Boston’s newest WBE firms and 2018 marked our largest growth year, in both market sectors and client base, to now include many of the region’s top performers and high profile projects. Innovations in historic adaptive reuse and in new skyscraper, casino and hotel construction methods also expanded our portfolio.
According to the NWBC, there are now 12 million women business owners and our numbers are growing. We are excited to ride this wave and provide creative solutions for the Boston real estate community well into 2019.
Hancock Estates was recognized by the Builders and Remodelers Association of Greater Boston with five PRISM awards
Building both organizations (Robert Marcus Real Estate Company, Inc. & Home Maintenance Organization LLC) and expanding into new locations.
As a client focused company, our first concern is with how well we are serving our clients versus any internal business metric or industry accolade.
With this in mind, I would say I am most proud of the hard work, skill and creativity displayed every day by our project delivery teams out in the field. 2018 saw the largest number of active projects to date in Delphi’s 26-year history.
I have been proud of our team’s continuous efforts to put our clients’ needs first at every turn and by their relentless pursuit of what we call “A+ Project Delivery.”
After being a member of the SIOR organization for 23 years and working through different committees and responsibilities within the New England Chapter, including treasurer and vice president, I took over as president of the New England Chapter in October.
