About Debbie G.

Are you concerned about building out your new office space or capital improvement jobs, running on time and on budget? So am I! I am fortunate to have had a successful career providing world class service to both internal and external customers, with extensive experience in commercial property management and construction project management. I\'ve overseen multi-million-dollar tenant improvements and capital Improvement jobs, building from conception to completion. With my knowledge and experience in commercial real estate and understanding the importance of building tenant/client relationships, I’m thrilled to be on the front end of building new tenant spaces, updating existing suites (for renewing tenants) and creating/building amazing common areas using current design trends. I place a strong emphasis on building tenant/client relationships, leasing spaces and improving assets while managing expectations through effective communication. I have a passion for getting the jobs done right, on time and on budget. My team knows me for being collaborative, reliable, having excellent follow through and taking initiative.I’ve worn many hats in my career: tenant coordinator, construction accountant, administrative assistant, among others. As a result, I\'m capable of putting out fires with poise and determination. I don’t care who receives the credit, I simply want our team to win.SKILLS Management: Time Management. Problem Solving.
