如果该地区的商业开发市场有领先地位,那就是Gensler。随着活动朝着衰退前的水平上升,Gensler最近的项目管道帮助它在ENR纽约顶级设计公司排名中将三个档次提高到第五位。新利18备用网址新利18备用通过一个艰难的经济环境,Gensler坚持其优势,保持密切的客户关系,并定位自己可以利用商业反弹。

该公司在纽约有400名员工,在其新泽西州莫里斯敦(Morristown)的办公室中有94名员工,该公司还参与了整个Tristate地区的一系列社区服务和行业组织。其中包括汤厨房,步行马拉松和许多其他慈善活动以及ACE导师计划。

鉴于其最近的成功,《工程新闻创纪录》的区域出版物的编辑名为《纽约地区年度设计公司》。

Like other firms, Gensler struggled during the recession. In 2008, it generated $116.88 million in revenue in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut. The following year that revenue tumbled 34% to $76.92 million. The firm has been able to rebuild business, however, as evidenced by a revenue jump from $86.75 million in 2011 to $111.65 million in 2012.

该公司表示,去年的商业部门记录了6519万美元,是其最近竞争对手的收入的三倍以上。Gensler的共同执行校长Joe Brancato认为该公司在过去五年中保持不断变化的商业环境的能力。

Brancato说:“在经济低迷中,我们与客户坚持不懈,尽管我们没有做太多工作,但我们仍与他们分享知识和研究。”“随着事情的转变,我们回到为他们开展业务。”

Corporate headquarters jobs helped to significantly increase its workload. In March 2012, crews completed the new five-story, 325,000-sq-ft BASF North American Headquarters in Florham Park, N.J. The project is certified under the U.S. Green Building Council's rating system as LEED Double Platinum for both commercial interiors as well as core and shell. It is the first project in New Jersey to achieve that designation.

Work is set for completion this August on the Gensler-designed, 12-story Two Riverfront Center in Newark, which will serve as the North American headquarters for Panasonic. Gensler also served as architect on the new 560,000-sq-ft Bayer Healthcare project in Whippany, N.J., which broke ground in 2012 and is scheduled for completion this summer. The project reworked an existing campus to create a new headquarters for Bayer.

The Bayer project is emblematic of the firm's recent efforts to help reposition existing properties. Brancato says many owners and developers are taking advantage of recent low-interest financing to invest in properties. "We see a lot of buildings from the '70s and '80s that are not working for corporate clients today," he says. "We can reposition—and in some cases completely transform them—to improve a facility so a corporation can use it for the next 30 years."

Gensler还在纽约市进行建筑物的改造。Tiaa-Cref于2010年收购了685第三大道,将其重新定位为多租户办公大楼。Gensler在6月份完成该项目的工作,包括对主要入口,大厅和邻近口袋公园的重大升级。

Brancato says the firm's brand group has been particularly helpful with "creating the story" for a repositioned property while its graphics team can create marketing collateral and websites for real estate agents.

Gensler共同执行校长兼现任董事会主席Robin Klehr Avia表示,该公司从其在内部的丰富经验中汲取了沉重的理解,以创建具有适合客户的空间的建筑物。她说:“我们有一种内而外的设计方法。”“这是关于客户,他们的客户,他们的员工和空间的用户。这是我们公司身份的指定。”

For About.com, Gensler designed a 45,000-sq-ft space in New York City that aims to instill a cultural shift in the company after it was sold by The New York Times Co. to IAC/InterActiveCorp in September. Featuring prominent branding elements throughout, the open-plan layout was designed to promote interaction and communication between coworkers, including a "central boulevard" that serves as a connection for both the space and the staff. The project was completed in November.

Similarly, the firm created a new collaborative 22,000-sq-ft workspace for Calvin Klein Jeans at its Fashion Avenue headquarters in Manhattan last November. The open-space layout aims to accentuate the company's brand and includes an immense collection of fashion samples within the one-floor space.

同时,Gensler在其纽约办公室和莫里斯敦的两个新工作室中添加了一个工作场所工作室。在这些办公室之间,该公司去年将该地区的人员增加了12%。艾维亚说,尽管Gensler努力从内部推广到保留文化,但该公司计划聘请支持其服务的人才。她说:“我们只希望雇用比我们更好的人。”

布兰卡多额外的工作室继续说firm's tradition of creating a small office feel within a large firm. The New York office now boasts 14 studios, while Morristown has four.

尽管Gensler近年来品尝了成功,但Brancato表示,他敦促他的高级职员“保持饥饿”。

他说:“我们可能是我们职业的巨人,但我们的行为就像大卫。”
