FitzGerald, headquartered in Chicago, has opened an office in Denver. The new location bolsters FitzGerald’s nationwide reach and capitalizes on local expertise to serve new and existing clients in Denver and the Front Range, as well as the Southwest United States, California, and Texas.
“Building a physical presence in Colorado is a big step for our firm and reiterates our commitment to offering our services to clients from coast to coast,” said Mike DeRouin, president of FitzGerald. “Remote/virtual collaboration has come a long way in recent years, but there is no substitute for local knowledge and boots on the ground in the Rockies and all things westward. We’re proud to make Denver our second home market and develop our own blueprint for national growth.”
ADAM BERKELHAMER TO HEAD NEW OFFICE
Leading the Denver office is Adam Berkelhamer, AIA an associate principal with FitzGerald since 2021.Berkelhamer heads several multifamily project teams across the country as well as acting as one of FitzGerald’s Design Directors.
