Kristen.
Senior Vice-President, Design
We know that when we build, we are building into an existing community. We take that responsibility seriously. Every market we work in needs more living spaces, but the areas where we build also need us to see them as they currently are and as they’ll be five, ten, fifteen years in the future. We know our markets, and we make sure that our teams spend time in the neighborhoods during design and construction. When our projects are done and it’s time to move in, our new homeowners enter into the community around them.
We stay connected to our places and people. Local businesses are the heart of any neighborhood, and we want to help celebrate and promote them. Through community partnerships, neighborhood events, and local non-profit engagements, we work to make sure our projects are authentic and thriving – it’s all connected.
When we rebranded to StoryBuilt, we made a decision to connect every way we could in the communities where we build. When one of our team found a kitten on the highway and brought her into the office – well, the rest is history. Clementine found a home and we found a mascot.
StoryBuilt’s offices are pet-friendly because we know the joy and connection animals bring to us all. We make a donation to a local rescue organization in each community where we build. Our hope is that the people who live in our homes connect with these organizations and help support them, too.
Art makes things better. StoryBuilt reaches out to local artists who work in graffiti and other forms of street art and partners with them for installations in our commercial spaces. Our current showpieces are Frank Alley and at Willa – and each are paired with QR codes that link directly to a donation space for the nonprofit linked to the art.
Life at StoryBuilt is always busy, always changing – and we like it that way. We stay engaged across departments from necessity. Team building means more than a cookout or a party to us. We work to make sure our teams know they can depend on each other, turn to each other for help, and that we have each other’s backs.
We want everyone to live where they love.
Join us to work where you love.
