2022 has felt like both a lifetime and a nanosecond! This year began a new chapter for BB+M – christening a new home for our firm and ending with a banger of a party with you all! That vibrant atmosphere at the open house was clear evidence of the bond between our clients, vendors, and our own rock star team.  We were so thankful to finally get back together with you all this year!

Project demands have been frenetic this year…and we’ve accomplished A LOT in that time that should make us all proud.  To really put into perspective the insanity of work that was done this year, here are a few numbers that are, in a word: SURREAL.

In progress NOW:

• 77 Projects in Construction
• 18,596 Multifamily Units
• 981,000 SF of Office Space
• 358,367 SF of Retail/Commercial Space

Totaling $4.5 Billion in project value in design and construction! (AN OBVIOUS FIRM RECORD)

We’d be remiss if we didn’t brag a little bit about our team. A very special honor was presented to our office by Mecklenburg County Code Enforcement – the Code Hero Award. Certainly not a sexy name, but this recognition may be even more meaningful than a design award.  It is proof from our code reviewers of our commitment to quality documentation and delivery…serious props to our QM/QC squad.  Paired with design, this ability to also deliver is a crucial pillar of our reputation and the client relationships that follow.

Speaking of design awards, we added a few additions to the trophy case:

• IIDA Carolinas Chapters Design Works: Top Honors Unbuilt (Senior Living) – Symphony Park
• IIDA Carolinas Chapters Design Works: Top Honors Multifamily – The Murray
• AIA Charlotte Design Awards: Interiors Merit Award – The Murray
• Charlotte Business Journal Heavy Hitters: Top Apartment/Condominium – The Colony
• Charlotte Design Awards (URBIES): Great Urban Design – Elizabeth on Seventh

Again, a huge thank you to all of our friends that came out to our Open House!  A record attendance surely….as we all had a blast showing off the new digs and catching up with old and new friends alike.

We look forward to another kick ass year with you all in 2023! Cheers!
