Gottesman of Altus Metal discusses proudest project

Name: Lina Gottesman Title: President Company Name: Altus Metal, Marble, & Wood Years in Commercial Real Estate: Twenty-Five (25) In the last 12 months, which project, transaction, honor or accomplishment are you most proud of and why? Restoring the historic wood benches at Grand Central Terminal for Jones Lang LaSalle was a challenging project logistically. As our wood restoration experts were working in a major public space, the containment of all work areas needed to be precisely planned to ensure no interference in the smooth functioning of the terminal. Seeing the end result, having the aging benches brought back to a rich and lustrous life, was enormously rewarding for the entire team. These are the moments that fill me with pride and a deep sense of accomplishment. What is your favorite quote? "Women who think they are equal to men lack ambition."
