It was the perfect storm. Four years ago, the fa\u00e7ades on University Park Condominiums\u2019 two 10-story \u00a0residential buildings were crumbling; the City of Chicago required immediate action; and there was limited funding available. The condo association and its property management team needed a solution that could work for their buildings, their time frame and their budget.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cWe obtained three bids for the fa\u00e7ade work,\u201d said Megan Serena, operations manager for Lieberman Management Services, the property\u2019s management firm. \u201cEach\u00a0 bidder had to present to our 15-person board. With such a large group, getting consensus can be a challenge. When Marco Rodriguez from K2N Crest presented, he was very knowledgeable and an excellent communicator. He was able to simplify the structural complexities for our audience and advised us as to what the fa\u00e7ade project was going to require and what he and his team would be able to accomplish.\u201d<\/p>\n

Marco advised a four-year, phased approach to accommodate the association\u2019s budgetary limitations while still addressing the City\u2019s immediate requirements. \u201cWe liked Marco\u2019s plan and his projected costs were competitive,\u201d said Megan. \u201cWe\u2019re now in year four of the project, and K2N Crest has been doing a great job for us. When we had to extend the plan by two years to allow funding for other projects, Marco had no difficulty adjusting the strategy.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWith projects like these, you\u2019re never quite sure you\u2019re going to get the results you want,\u201d Megan added. \u201cWhen you\u2019re writing very large checks every summer, it\u2019s important to have confidence in the people you\u2019re dealing with. Marco has brought in each year\u2019s projects on time and within or under budget with no unpleasant surprises\u2014he\u2019s become our \u2018go to\u2019 resource for other structural concerns, such as roof issues and leaking in our underground garage.\u201d<\/p>\n
