BrownGreer Reaching New Business Heights at Rocketts Landing
Post Date: 08-19-2014
Rocketts Landing is home to a myriad of interesting residents. But individuals and families aren't the only ones who seek out our riverfront lifestyle! From restaurants to law firms and more, 10 businesses also call our community their home. And last year, after months of efforts renovating the historic Cedar Works warehouse, law firm BrownGreer joined our Rocketts Landing family. So, we decided to check in with them and see how their location and office has been serving them. Below is our edited transcript with Founding Partner Orran L. Brown. Enjoy!

Rocketts Landing: How has your Rocketts Landing location and historic renovation been serving you?
Orran Brown: We have been extremely pleased with our first 15 months at
Rocketts Landing. We are very proud of the look and feel of our building. Every
visitor seeing it for the first time remarks on some aspect of our office
design and appearance, and our workers seem to share in our pride in our
offices. We enjoy the Rocketts Landing location and all the energy it
offers [us].

RL: What building/location details stand out to you and your team?
OB: The interior design, furniture, and renovation work
done on our space were all well planned and well executed by the vendors we had
helping us. Particularly, we and our visitors appreciate the exposed brick, the
soaring ceiling on our top floor, the glass features, the reclaimed wood, and
the barn doors and other interior metal features we were able to use as accents
in our space. We regularly are told, “This place is cool!” Also, we're
glad to have parking available to us and remain intrigued by the trains that
pass by each day.

RL: Any specific business updates you'd like to share?
OB: BrownGreer continues to prosper in our new location. We
have expanded into additional project areas and are handling several new
programs. For example, we were named the Claims Administrator for the
proposed NFL concussion litigation, which was recently given preliminary
approval by a federal court in Philadelphia.

RL: Has your Rocketts Landing location positively impacted your business objectives in any manner? Or, your office/corporate culture?
OB: Yes. We feel that having our own, cutting-edge building
in a progressive setting fits with our image as a vibrant, cutting-edge firm
offering the best services in our industry. As we had hoped, the image of
our building and location matches and promotes our image as a firm. We
bring experience and innovation to bear on every project we do. A building that
exudes both a stalwart history and creative renovation helps us send that
message.
