Property amenities include a rooftop sundeck, outdoor lounge with grilling stations, fitness center, community workspaces, cafe with coffee bar, game room and a Package Concierge system. Covered and outdoor parking, controlled access and elevator service round out the building. Residents have direct access to Mass Ave shops and the MBTA red line via Alewife Station.
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.
OPM SCOPE
Monthly cost reporting, budget-to-actual reconciliation, and financial requisition review
RFP production with competitive bid management and cost-leveling across all trades
