Please welcome Alvin Le to O’Brien Interiors Group! 🏍️

Alvin is one of our newest laborers, and he’s already pulling his weight on every unit.

Off the clock, you’ll catch him rewatching How to Train Your Dragon (his favorite movie) or out on his sport bike. His dream trip? Tokyo, Japan, and we hope he gets there.

Welcome aboard, Alvin!

Join us in welcoming Lindsay Linn to the O’Brien Interiors Group team as our newest Project Manager!

Lindsay comes to us with experience in residential and commercial construction project management, which entailed estimating, budgeting, contract negotiation, multi-state permitting and compliance, workflow optimization, and client relations.

Outside the office, you’ll likely find her at a sports facility or on a field cheering on her three very active kids. And on fall weekends, she’s on the couch rooting for the Kansas City Chiefs. 🏈

Lindsay is looking forward to working alongside people who take pride in their craft. She also is proud to be part of work that makes a real difference for residents and the clients we serve.

We are happy you’re here, Lindsay! 👏

Phase 1 of Henry Street Apartments is officially open in Detroit’s Cass Park neighborhood, offering both affordable and market-rate homes. The community-first historic restoration project was celebrated with a ribbon-cutting ceremony on October 8.

The O’Brien team has been proud to lead the construction on this transformative project. Residents are already living in two restored historic buildings, and the remaining four are on track for completion by summer 2027.

When finished, Henry Street will offer 170 homes across six buildings dating back more than a century. A former bowling alley in the neighborhood has also been transformed into a community center.

Thank you to the O’Brien team for working so diligently to make this project a success. We are delighted to continue moving forward with this wonderful endeavor! 👏🏽

Meet Ian Evans, the new Interior Designer at O'Brien Interiors Group.

Ian was about twelve when he figured out he saw rooms differently. He kept rearranging the furniture at home and spent his allowance on décor instead of whatever twelve-year-olds usually buy. It never wore off. These days he's renovating a 1938 Detroit house, and when he's not doing that, he's gardening or out exploring Michigan.

He comes to OIG from the owner-operator side of senior living, where he coordinated capital improvement projects across 70 communities. Ask him what he's proudest of and it isn't a finished space. It's hearing that a resident can finally use a piece of furniture, or that the operations team got pieces designed to be easy to clean. Functional, safe and beautiful, in his words.

He also said he's here to learn from this team as much as to bring his own skill set to it, so show him a job site and introduce him around.

Welcome to the team, Ian.

Meet Chrissie Valdini, a new Project Director at O'Brien Interiors Group.

Chrissie comes to us after fourteen years on the owner's side of multifamily, directing renovations, fire rebuilds and conversions in buildings where people were still living down the hall. Before that, ten years running retail stores, including a new-store opening where she ran the punch list with the general contractor and had the place set up a full business day early. She has been on both ends of that conversation.

We asked what kind of impact she hopes to have on the team this year: a strong foundation of support, a different perspective on obstacles, and bringing enjoyment to each day. That last one has a name here. Enjoy It. Nice to have someone walk in already living it.

Where it comes from is no mystery. Her dad taught special education for 35 years, and her grandmother was a nurse who ran a health clinic in Brooklyn. She says she first knew she was the person others looked to when people felt comfortable telling her they were struggling or needed help. If you've worked with someone like that, you know how rare it is.

Say hello, and if something on your project isn't going right this week, she'd rather hear it early. Welcome to the team, Chrissie.

Some days, the best work doesn't involve a hard hat or computer screen.

Last week, 15 of us spent the day with our friends at Volunteers of America, rolling up our sleeves in the garage, supply room, living spaces, and kitchen. We cleared out years of clutter, reorganized the cleaning supplies and paint shelves, set up a brand-new wellness room stocked with wellness kits, and took on one truly massive refrigerator. 🧹

VOA has been a partner of ours for years, from renovating Coventry Place in Redford to days like this one. What keeps us coming back is simple: we care about the same thing. Making sure the people VOA serves have spaces that feel like home.

Thank you, VOA, for letting us be part of the work you do every day. 💙

Meet Tim Poiry, our new Project Manager at O'Brien Interiors Group.

Ask Tim where the organizing instinct came from and he goes straight to the family: he's the oldest of three, so leading and keeping people on track has been part of the job description since well before it was an actual job description.

These days he keeps everyone together a different way. Tim cooks for his family, and as he puts it, everyone enjoys good food, so it's an easy way to get people in one room.

Welcome aboard, Tim.

Enjoy It is one of our Common Beliefs. Laughing, smiling, and appreciating the journey.

That one is easy to nod at and hard to actually schedule. So we scheduled it.

More than 180 of us gathered at the Detroit Zoo, families included, for a day with nothing on the agenda but being together. No meetings, no updates, no deadlines. Just lunch, face paint, Dippin' Dots, and an afternoon to wander the zoo with the people who matter most to us.

The work we do is hard, and it is meaningful. Days like this are how we make sure we do not miss it.

Thank you to every family who came out. You are a big part of why this team is what it is.

Josh has been building our warehouse into something that can scale. As of this week, he's got another set of hands. ⬇️

Stephen Tovey joins O'Brien Interiors Group as a Warehouse Associate. Receiving, staging, loading, forklift and pallet jack, and keeping the floor running clean so the crews out in the field never have to wonder whether their material is coming.

He told us he figured out a long time ago that he likes creating structure and keeping things on track until they're finished. Around here, that's not a personality quirk. That's the job.

What he's looking forward to most is learning a new environment, working through new challenges, and doing it with a team. All three are on the schedule.

Stop by and introduce yourself if you're in the warehouse!👋

Welcome to O'Brien, Stephen. Purpose Built.

Our summer interns wrapped up last week, and we could not let them leave without saying thank you to the people who made their twelve weeks worth it.

To the superintendents who explained things twice. To the PMs who let them sit in on the hard calls. To everyone who took a few of their 1,440 minutes to answer a question instead of waving it off.

These three got to see how this work is done by people who are genuinely the best at it. That is not something you can teach in a classroom, and it does not happen unless people choose to give their time.

Thank you for showing them what a great team and work look like.
