Kaman Skinner is a Project Manager and Architect with JDavis. With 20 years of experience in the industry, Kaman tells us what she loves about working with our firm specifically.⁠
⁠
What does your job entail?⁠ ⁠
K: My job as a Project Manager and Architect is to connect with the client and project goals and objectives and communicate that to the JDavis and consultancy teams, monitor overall progress and quality, and delegate work to the best of everyone’s ability and interest while making sure to contribute meaningfully to the workload myself.⁠
⁠
What do you love about working at JDavis?⁠ ⁠
K: The people first and foremost. Our studio in Philadelphia is filled with talented and hardworking people that genuinely want to grow the office and themselves professionally. There is not any one person who just ‘punches the clock’ to make a living, even if they say they do. Their actions speak for themselves. I also love the flexibility and autonomy to manage time and unexpected events that inevitably arise as a parent to a 7 year old. Moving to the cloud for our work over a year ago has really made this an enviable place to work, more so than ever before!⁠
⁠
How long have you worked for JDavis?⁠ ⁠
K: My career spans 20 years and the last 6 years, and 21 days counting has been with JDavis.⁠
⁠
Tell us about your favorite project.⁠ ⁠
K: I’m told that the ones that never get built are the best… however I would disagree as it is so rewarding to see the vision come to reality. Some of those projects were The Riverfront Landing in Pittsburgh with NRP Group, 5CC as well as 8th & Walnut (Center Square West) with City Center Allentown, and in the near future, Alta Brewers Hill in Baltimore with Wood Partners. More in the ground, more to come!⁠

We’re thrilled to lead the design on the recently announced project named Salisbury Square. The site has historically been the home of the NC Association of Educators and is adjacent to the Duke Energy Center for the Performing Arts.
Plans call for a 20-story mixed-use tower, a 20-story multifamily tower, a 6-story, 150-room hotel and 4-story building for workforce housing with attached parking deck. The mixed-use tower will feature 242 upscale apartments on top of 175,000 square feet of commercial office and retail space. The residential tower will feature 270 luxury apartments complete with a rooftop pool.
Finally, plans also include 63 workforce housing units wrapping around a shared parking structure. These units will feature below-market rates and will be reserved for lower-income tenants. In the middle of the development will be the NCAE park, which will provide green space between the towers and structures. The park will be dedicated to the legacy and history of NCAE. Construction is expected to begin in the fourth quarter of this year.

FNB Tower in Downtown Raleigh delivered only a few short months ago and has already become an address of distinction at 501 Fayetteville Street. In addition to architectural, landscape architectural, and planning services, our interior design team elevated things to the next level. They have developed a fresh and exciting look that sets a new standard in residential interiors, not only for Raleigh but for the industry as a whole.

We’re excited to share a few images from @511Faye, which is the multifamily and hospitality piece of the building and offers some of the best views in all of the Capital City.

Thanks to @laurasumrak for her beautiful photography.

Great image we're working on for an adaptive re-use study to repurpose pre-engineered metal buildings into an entertainment district.

Given that it is ‘Women in Construction Week,’ we think it is only fitting to salute all the women who contribute to our firm’s success on a daily basis.

In addition to making up nearly 50% of our overall headcount, they consistently lead and inspire their coworkers, our clients, and the communities in which we live.
