“I have had a great working relationship with Gillis Gilkerson for over 30 years,” said Lee Trice, founder, and principal, Valucentric. “The process was painless, and they provided a seamless transition. We navigated different challenges together and they did a fantastic job.”

Trice sold his original office building to Gillis Gilkerson and then leased the new space at 600 Glen Avenue in Salisbury, back from the company.

“This was one of the final phases of the Glen Avenue redevelopment project,” said Brad Gillis, principal, Gillis Gilkerson. “We were happy to assist Lee in finding a solution that brought his team back together on one floor in a space that preserved the industrial style of the building.”

The project included select demolition, new interior framing, insulation, drywall, acoustical ceilings, HVAC, plumbing and electrical work. Vice President and project manager, Tyler Barnes and superintendent Don Brady worked with the team to meet specifications including open ceilings with exposed trusses and ducts.

“We want to express our appreciation for the completion of the apartments at Jefferson II in time to get the residents back in their homes. We believe this was made possible by the quality site supervision provided by Dale Reinhold. Dale’s masterful control of the site, the suppliers and the subcontractors was like a conductor directing an unruly orchestra. On site progress was consistent and organized. When problems were encountered, Dale professionally provided solutions. Dale’s quality site supervision made the Jefferson II project a success.”
