WPP at the Watergardens

As a project manager with WPP Group Real Estate, Matthew Sorrentino's project in Santa Monica, the WPP at the Watergardens overcame significant challenges—including competing stakeholders, uncontrolled change orders, and schedule risks—by establishing centralized project authority and aligning all parties through strategic value-engineering solutions that preserved the original design intent. This decisive leadership and innovative approach resulted in savings exceeding $2 million on a $20 million budget, demonstrating our commitment to delivering excellence under pressure.
