HLW Architecture & Design Firm Expands in Connecticut

Firm To Open Connecticut Satellite Office in First Quarter of 2019

HLW, a global architecture, interiors, and planning firm, has announced a new location in Stamford, Connecticut. With plans to open in February 2019, the firm’s new office will be the pilot location for HLW’s new satellite office initiative, StudioGo. Located at 700 Canal Street, the local presence will serve both current clientele in the area, including WWE and Charter Communications, as well as future clients.

Joe Montalbano AIA, Principal, will lead the Stamford office. With over 25 years of experience in a wide range of project types, Montalbano is recognized for his ability to manage technically complex projects, demanding schedules, and multiple project stakeholders.

“The concept of StudioGo is about being scalable and adaptable so that we can truly accommodate our clients on a local level anywhere in the world. Stamford seemed like the obvious choice in location to launch the initiative because of our continued work both past and present in the area.” Joe Montalbano AIA, Principal.

HLW’s has past work with clients such as ESPN, Point 72, and Atlas Holdings in the greater Connecticut area. They are currently working with Charter Communications on their new office tower to be built directly in Stamford.

The Stamford location will be the first HLW office to be based in a non-traditional space. Utilizing the coworking space at Serendipity Labs, HLW’s Stamford site offers a private area within a modern, collaborative environment.  Replete with great amenities and conveniently located near downtown Stamford, the satellite office is an ideal location for their staff.

“We have had a lot of exciting things happening recently between the upcoming move of our New York and Los Angeles offices and the recent relocation of our London office. We see the new location in Stamford as yet another opportunity to better serve our clients,” Susan Boyle, Managing Partner.
