Topping Out

real dream :: real estate :: real big event

When you're in commercial real estate - and your job includes managing events, you drool over challenging events that happen on your properties.  Especially new properties.

Yes - you read that right - NEW - sparkling new properties ...

Oh wait and then you hear the foreman telling you to put your hardhat on {does it hurt that mine has my monogram on it? ... why no!} and where are your steel toe boots?  Okay - steel toe boots with this lovely skirt?  Note to self - buy some outfits that I can wear to my corporate event meetings AND the construction site.  "Oh....and by the way", the general contractor chats... "we need 2 events back to back."  No problem-o.  What did you just say? 2,500 people during the day and 200 the next night? Oh - okay! {Silent excitement all on the inside. At least I know the caterer is going to give me a bargain of a price on this one.}

Here are some images from that evening:

The beam signing {the beam was hoisted to the top of the building that night . . . definitely fun to watch}.

A peek inside the event where dinner and dancing happened.  Yup! We traded in those hard hats and steel toe boots for a little more swank attire.

Here's a snapshot of the invitation for that evening...
