TBT to one of my favorite projects: Designed for @Jefferson Apartment Group, J. Linea, a 135-unit multi-family property nestled in Washington, DC's vibrant and historic U Street corridor, honors the rich musical legacy of a street once known as 'Black Broadway.'

Last week, we joined our client @Willow Bridge Property Company, alongside Mayor Bowser, and folks from DMPED for a ribbon cutting of Balsa. Located in the heart of downtown DC Balsa is just one of 5 Hickok Cole multi-family residential projects currently underway in a 3 block radius.

Thrilled to see our transformation of the former University Club Tower in Salt Lake City featured in Multi-Housing News. It's exciting to witness Seraph, a premier residential high-rise, come to life with the installation of new floor to ceiling windows and metal panel revealing its fresh new look.

I'm spending the week visiting family in Brazil and feeling grateful for the rich design heritage I'm surrounded by. Brazilian modernism is indeed legendary; Rooted in nature, optimistic, and brimming with a sense of craft and place.
