THE CONSTRUCTION SOURCE CANADA Also in the mix: an office addition for the BMR Windsor Building Centre along with their internal retail revisions; renovations to 20,000 square feet of offices at the Essex County Civic Centre keeping Covid 19 future planning in mind, another dental office in LaSalle, the redevelopment of a number of existing sites for apartment buildings and a medical centre; as well as the changing of two 10 storey office buildings in downtown Windsor, one into 64 units of apartments and the other into 45 high ceiling loft style apartment units. They are also planning an office addition doubling a size of a building they designed 23 years ago, which speaks to both their longevity and the reputation they have built in their local communities. According to Joseph, that reputation is why Passa Architects has lasted so long, and why they continue to thrive today. He credits that reputation to their “client-centric service ideology.” As part of that ideology, they emphasize communication, response times, and transparency. They also provide the time to “not just ‘hear,’ but ‘listen’” to their client’s needs and expectations. “We thankfully have clients that we’ve been working with for over 20 years,” Joseph says. “We’ve built some strong relationships and we feel we have built trust within them.” He also credits the company’s track record for getting their work done on time. He says that in the commercial sector, that reliability is highly valued. “Our clients get their people in their buildings when they need to be there,” said Passa. “That’s what helps them come back.”
