Pride Supporting Development in Real Estate Expansion
When it comes to the JR Noble Group and our goals, achieving total client satisfaction is more than simply a business goal, according to JR Noble Founder and Principal, John Tahtabrounian — it’s simply a point of pride. Mr. Tahtabrounian shared, “I was raised to take pride in everything I do, whether it’s sweeping a floor or constructing a building. Whatever it takes, we find a way to get it done.”
JR Noble’s management background stems from their vast experience in the commercial construction industry. For over 20 years, the team worked in all facets of construction, property development and design, guiding clients through the quite challenging process(es) involved related to the general contracting business. The work involved integrating many different aspects of the design-build process including working with other design firms, sub-contractors, architects and engineers while serving industries such as transportation, automotive, hospitality, retail, pharmaceutical, entertainment, corporate and religious institutions — of all sizes throughout the United States and Canada.
“I was raised to take pride in everything I do, whether it’s sweeping a floor or constructing a building. Whatever it takes, we find a way to get it done.”
“I started with painting an office,” John recalls – many years later, he says, “In comparison, a more recent project we’ve completed began as a 13-acre raw site in eastern Pennsylvania. We had to raise the elevation with an extra 10,000 cubic yards of fill, coordinate with the utility companies to bring all services to the site and work with the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation and local township to redo an entire street from one end to the other. It’s funny how life changes, but I still remember the pride I felt after painting that first office.”
Regardless of what type of project we are working on, John stresses the importance of excellent communication and project management when it comes to achieving total client satisfaction. “I am not a born contractor,” he says. “However, I have a lot of customer service and managerial experience. By age 28, I was a national sales manager for a publication company. I led a department with 40 salespeople who focused on providing customer satisfaction from beginning to end. We looked beyond just signing the order; we made sure the order was accomplished and that the customer was satisfied.”
JR Noble also takes pride in our “project deep dives” on each development process. This deep-dive research and expert planning are especially critical for the challenges involved in any real estate development project.
Although past projects span the private, public and nonprofit sectors, they are unified by our team’s unwavering commitment to achieve total client satisfaction.
“It takes months or even years to find a choice project or property and seconds to potentially lose one,” John says, “and that keeps it all in perspective, when it comes to our work.”
