Mike Davis: DFD Cornoyer Hendrick

Architect praises Champion’s integrity and clarity of focus. At the architecture firm of DFD Cornoyer Hendrick, Mike Davis appreciates clients who are focused on their goals, and value the important role played by professionals in the real estate development process. “That’s what we really love about working with Ricky Lyons and his group at Champion,” Davis says. “They have a great sense of propriety and team focus. They never waste our time, and they are very fair and thoughtful. They get us all focused on the end goal, and then let us do what we are good at.” “In fact, they are the model of our ideal client,” Davis adds. “They have a lot of integrity and great business sense. Their whole operation runs very smoothly and efficiently.” Davis says Champion’s clarity of focus, and high level of integrity gives Champion and its strategic partners a competitive advantage. “They are able to get great projects done in a timely fashion. They take in a lot of information, and produce developments that meet everyone’s needs on multiple levels. We are very proud of the architecture we have produced for them—both retail and office condominiums. Together, we have created projects that have made an important, positive contribution to the community.” “Part of our job is to help Champion take their projects through the municipality design review process, permitting and inspections. In conversation with a Glendale Senior Planner, Theresa Hillner said that Champion was prepared for the process and always responded to comments and concerns in a cooperative fashion. “They took a proactive solution approach to situations that arose”, said Hillner.
