Our company identity is rooted in the individual experiences of our  founders…

THE BEGINNING

Founded by longtime Boston business leader Jim Grossmann, "RISE Construction Management" successfully launched as a construction management firm, establishing a diverse portfolio from large-scale, high-profile projects to complex, fast-paced tenant fit outs.

THE GROWTH

Building upon the success of our model, we expanded our reach by partnering with Herby Duverné to establish "RISE Together" a community-focused development company. As a minority-owned business, and as the name suggests, RISE Together is about bringing people together and creating long lasting growth through equitable development.

THE REFRESH

Our collective experience as a construction manager and as a real estate developer deepen our understanding and appreciation from an ownership point of view as we own, construct, and manage many of our projects. As multi-faceted companies, we decided to streamline and are simply known as "RISE."

THE PRESENT

As RISE, we continue to develop buildings and build communities. At RISE we continue to partner, build and develop with forward-thinking people.

RISE continues to expand the reach past the traditional development and construction models ensuring that substantive growth opportunities are maximized creating a sustainable future for our city and region.
