Comment: |
| S.L.Leonard & Associates brings an important element to the table: Because they focus on the details of building, negotiating and bidding, we are freed up to focus on accomplishing our vision. And because they have worked every job around the table at most construction meetings, they bring credibility in working with the contractors. Their requests are always grounded in experience, which makes the process much more productive. Sean and Mike make a nice team—Sean has a quiet authority and Mike is always prepared to push hard to represent the client. Together, they maintain the positive relationships necessary to keep the project moving along with the client’s interests well represented. |

| Project
Description: |
| A $57 million, state-of-the-art community designed for artists and creative businesses, WAV will offer affordable living and working space for more than 100 artists. The project will include an amphitheater and space for arts-friendly small businesses such as coffeehouses, galleries, cafes, wine bars and jazz clubs. The WAV project will include supportive housing and crucial services to those at the lowest end of the income scale. Market-rate condominiums with ocean views will help to subsidize the affordable housing. The entire community will be designed and built to the highest standards of green building technology as LEED™ certified. |
