Client Testimonials
Ankura Consulting Group, LLC
New Corporate Headquarters, 2000 K Street, NW, Washington, DC
Approx. 90,000 sf Office Interior Buildout Total Project Cost: $17M
Ankura Consulting retained Chuck Gorum for assistance in a number of real estate projects emanating from a $470 M acquisition of an international consulting firm. The management of a 90,000 square foot corporate headquarters consolidation project on K Street in downtown Washington, D.C. was our largest and most complicated and time sensitive project. Chuck quickly established trusted working relationships with key members of our senior management team as well as various other stakeholders. Chuck’s professional experience allowed him to promptly identify critical requirements, important coordination points, hard deadlines and areas with the potential for value engineering in the early planning stages.
Chuck’s leadership of an exceptional team completed the new headquarters facility on time and $500k below expected costs. His expertise, sensitivity to our needs, and respect for others on the project team created a positive, productive environment. Throughout this project Chuck maintained effective communications, followed up to ensure the entire team was performing and stayed focused through completion of the work.
My long term relationship with Chuck was my reason for using his services for our headquarters facility. He’s honest, diligent and exhibits the values we have employed to build our firm. We also used Chuck for various other important tasks in other locations. The nuance to all of this real estate and construction work was that we were integrating 900 people into our firm and how their needs were met when it comes to their new office were important first impression factors. I could trust Chuck to understand the importance his work had on the employee experience of our new colleagues. And he delivered.
Chuck builds teams to successfully execute difficult complex projects. He does this by creating real relationships where everyone is valued and accountable.
