A New Jersey and New York City construction consulting and management firm, built to bring strategy and rigor to projects others approach on autopilot.
Out of college, Saleh drifted naturally into construction, and quickly found a talent for the job site. He moved up the ranks fast, taking on every major position in the field. But he wanted his work to mean more than the next build.
Always one for a challenge, he joined the United Nations to understand how cities are planned and modernized through smarter capital and city-planning strategy. He then joined Gensler, one of the world's top design firms, as a Commercial Real Estate Strategist, helping clients understand and better use their real estate portfolios.
So he built Rethought to merge them, a firm where strategic thinking and hands-on construction finally work as one. That is the whole idea behind challenging how we build.
We specialize in public-sector work and the renovation and repositioning of commercial properties, taking an end-to-end approach from early planning through closeout. The result is fewer surprises, more predictable budgets, and finished spaces that serve the people who use them.
Most things get built the way they have always been built. We question that on every project to find the better path.
The best results are won before anything is constructed. Rigor up front prevents the costs that show up later.
Every decision anticipates where the market and the people using a space are heading next.
Tell us what you're building, or what you're thinking of taking on.
