"I highly recommend Ugljesa for any project."
I had an opportunity to work with Ugljesa on a complicated building that required out of the box thinking. Ugljesa helped us overcome challenges in dealing with tenants that required complicated tenant finishes, a municipality that was not always responsive and a changing market environment. In addition, Ugljesa solicited and listened to everyone’s input. Very smart and people oriented
