OWNER’S PROJECT MANAGEMENT
On a project of this scale, the OPM is the owner’s eyes, ears and leverage. Matt structured and negotiated the AIA contracts, ran the RFP and bid leveling process, managed the monthly requisition and cost reporting cycle, negotiated change orders from a position of knowledge rather than deference, and held the GC and design team accountable to the schedule and quality standards ownership required. The result: a 195-unit luxury high-rise delivered to a Greystar lease-up standard.
