The firm has also completed build-outs for Thompson Flanagan, Sterling Bay Companies, Righpoint and Schuman, Simon & Grodecki, Ltd. in the multi-tenant class A loft office building that is owned by Sterling Bay Companies.
Summit Design + Build's Dave Mooney, senior project manager, Pat J. Lynn, project engineer, and Rodger Meyer, superintendent, were responsible for the on-site construction of Applegate & Thorne-Thomsen. Fitzgerald Earles Architects and Associates was the architect for the project. BD+C
