Closing out another fantastic week on a project with TCG (Tester Construction Group) #GeppertBrothers #WomanOwnedBusiness #Demolition #TearingDownToMakeWayForProgress #WBENC #WomenInConstruction #WomenInTrades #NAWIC

Welcome to the beginnings of TCG’s newest Fishtown collab with @archivedevelopment, @cannodesign, @colliersphilly— THE FRAME at 1440 N Front St. The new project will rise 7 stories of 114 residential units over commercial.

Our Wayne Ave project is making great progress! We're excited to bring 50 mixed-income apartments and ground floor retail to this thriving commercial corridor. We are pushing to wrap the project up by the end of the year. R+M Development Partners #realestatedevelopment #philadelphiarealestate #mixedincomehousing #bkp

At a time when construction projects have stalled, Archive Development secured financing to move forward with its largest Fishtown development yet. #philadelphia #fishtown #development #commercialrealestate

Happy 5th Anniversary to our Vice President of Operations, Jim Jankiewicz ! Jim is always a leader, always willing to help, always with a smile, and usually with his trademark laugh. We appreciate you, Jim! Thanks for a great 5 years and here’s to many more! 🥳

Happy first teacher appreciation week to TCG’s @vincent.farace who is having a very full-circle moment returning to his Alma Mater, @drexeluniv as an adjunct professor! Vince graduated from Drexel with a B.S. in Architectural Engineering and is now teaching Construction Management of Field Operations for the College of Engineering in the Construction Management Department. Vince notes, “Teaching as an adjunct professor in construction management, I aim to bridge the gap between theory and practice by weaving my own experiences into the course curriculum. It’s a humbling experience to stand before the next generation of leaders, sitting where I once sat as a student. I’ve come to realize that education is a continuous journey and the roles we play in life are ever-evolving. Walking these familiar halls now as an educator, I see not just bricks and mortar, but the foundation of future builders. I hope to inspire these future generations to help shape our world, one structure at a time.” Best of luck to Vince and his students! Here’s to construction’s next generation! 🔨

Thank you @Burnscompany for opening your facility to us! Learning about the Burns & Co. systems was quite the experience! TCGreen couldn’t be more proud to partner with them as we continue to strive to build a more sustainable Philadelphia.🌱 🌍
