“One of my favorite aspects of this business is the opportunity for alchemy; the ability to look at a vacant parcel of land like a canvas upon which you can create a vision and manifest it into a reality. We live in a unique city where the landscape is constantly changing. Brass Cap gets to be a part of the construction of the fabric of what makes this community our home. There is a feeling of pride of being a part of a legacy and writing a page in the history of real estate. I’m very excited for what the future holds for our company.”
