Project Manager and Designer.
This high rise, centrally located in the Chelsea neighborhood of Manhattan, is a complete gut renovation of its first 3 floors, terrace and roof-top. The client, JP Morgan Asset Management, felt that to compete in the current market they needed to modernize the existing design.

This intricate project required me to fill various roles and to constantly meet new and existing challenges. Currently in CA, this tower is set to be completed early 2018.

Responsibilities:

+   Communication with client, client representative, management company, contractor, and internal team.
+   Responding to RFIs and submittals.
+   Coordination with MEP, Structural, Lighting and all other consultants including interiors.
+   Sending updated sketches and/or bulletins.
+   Creating filing sets.

Luisa Bustamante - Architecture & Construction Project Manager

I have 8 years of very unique experience and my excellent interpersonal skills, coupled with my project management experience and extensive knowledge of the design and construction process, make me a well rounded creative.

In my career thus far I have purposely sought out challenges that continue to shape me into the architect and person I aspire to be. Working overseas taught me to be subjective and receptive in both life and the workplace. Working at a design/build has given me an appreciation for the construction process and a respect for all trades involved. Working for Rafael Viñoly has taught me patience and a better understanding of handling high profile clients and projects. And finally, my most recent position as Project Manager at S9 Architecture has furthered my construction administration knowledge and provided great opportunity to further develop client relation skills.
