“The Skating Club of Boston sought out Northstar as its project manager for its new $68 million facility because of their team’s integrity, dedication to clients of every size, and personalized attention. Our facility was a one-and-done project for our institution, and we did not want it to be lost in a company among larger clients with longer-term, business interests. Northstar proved to be the right decision for us at every turn of the project – from sourcing our construction management team, to value engineering the project to fit our budget, to problem solving, to staunchly representing our organization though invariable dispute resolutions. They were steadfast. The Northstar team consistently let our team know we were a priority throughout the entirety of the project. Today we have a state-of-the-art, training and performance center that is the envy of other skating facilities in the United States and admired around the world. And to this day, our Northstar project manager will pick up the phone and answer any questions for us.”

“UKG (formerly Kronos) was looking for an OPM for its 500k SF Global HQ tenant fit up project in Lowell. Northstar was the first company we thought of.  Having previously used Northstar for our Engineering COE in Chelmsford, we knew we were hiring a competent and nimble project manager that would keep the project on schedule and under budget. Northstar is deliberate in their approach, maintains a high level of professionalism, and shows respect to all team members. They earn that respect in return. Their partnership in creating our award-winning workplace directly impacts the high level of employee engagement and satisfaction at UKG.   I look forward to partnering with Northstar on our next tenant fit up.”

“The Northstar team specializes in taking extremely complex and nuanced processes and breaking them into achievable, purposeful tasks … we have found them to be strategic, responsive and committed to seamlessly integrating with our team. They’re equipped to address high-level planning as well as managing the granular details needed to be successful. And they understand our organizational structure, our business model and our values. These are great people who share our commitment and work ethic. We are more prepared and confident with Northstar on our team.”

“Northstar has been a great partner in all of our phased expansion and renovation projects. Every project has come in on time and under budget, which is nice. But, they are more than that to us. They are extremely attentive to detail, business focused, and very client centered. They showed genuine concern for our comfort and sought input at every turn. They considered our wants and needs, culture and goals, and made sure all were represented in the final project. They also helped manage the expectations of our staff when we moved from isolated offices to an open air environment plan. Without Northstar, our projects wouldn’t be run nearly as well, and our staff wouldn’t be as well-adjusted as they are today. We credit Northstar with these positive outcomes.”

“With a ten-year, $100M campus consolidation and revitalization project underway, I relied upon Northstar’s expertise in construction and construction contracting to ensure we maximized our value, while trusting their strategic advice at every stage of the design and construction process. They understood and imitated our business model, using that knowledge to efficiently direct the architectural and design team members towards appropriate and reliable conclusions. For anyone considering a major construction project, Northstar comes highly recommended – from myself, my user community, and my management team.”

“The Northstar team has supported all phases of our transition into Boston, Cambridge and Kendall Square. As a new entrant into a complex and active market, your leadership and expertise have provided an advantage in our efforts to establish a presence in a new market for our company. Northstar was one of the first partners we engaged in establishing a presence in Cambridge in late 2014 and our collaboration over the last 12 months has resulted in the design/build of a renowned facility for our leading biopharmaceutical company – the outcome of your work continues to inspire and delight our employees and guests. We look forward to our continued collaboration with our Northstar partners long after the construction ends. We were fortunate to receive a reference for such a great partner. Thank you for the work that we’ve done and the work that we’re yet to do.”

“I was most impressed with the people skills of the Northstar team, their ability to meet deadlines, and the way they consistently drove constructive decision making at every turn. I entered every meeting with full confidence they’d be prepared with the relevant information my team needed to make informed decisions. With a team approach, which included two senior-level principals and one dedicated project manager, they worked in lock-step to provide clear guidance and insight. This proved to be an effective way to demonstrate complete project understanding while paying attention to the details necessary to create a functional and aesthetically breathtaking project. They are excellent communicators, and in my opinion, the value they brought to our project is undeniable.”
