"In every situation, our experience has been over the top. George's people came in on time, and under budget. But more importantly, the intellectual capital that was delivered through their consultative practice was invaluable. The creativity of design as well as the delivery and implementation of practical solutions in the field have never been anything but exceptional and workable. George DePalma and his firm receive our highest recommendation."

Jack M. Cohen, CEO Cohen Financial, Chicago, IL

"Without DePalma Group we never would have gotten approval for our Chicago Lexus Dealership project. Their detailed presentation convinced Lexus Division that our concept of an "urban" dealership had merit. DePalma beautiful designs and layouts, and use of exceptional material created one of the finest luxury car dealerships in the country. With their assistance we were able to complete our 96,000 square foot project in less than 6 months.

Thank you, Elsa DePalma - You made it all possible."

Michael McGrath, McGrath Lexus, Chicago, Illinois

"The DePalma Group’s approach and attitude is unique from other standard architectural firms. They attack each project from the retailers’ and consumers’ vantage points while keeping an eye on the developer’s pocketbook.

It’s also good to have The DePalma Group on your side in tough retailer/tenant negotiations when the key to “making the deal” is enabling the retailer to visualize how their storefront can look or feel as part of your shopping center."

"The DePalma Group provided a level of service to satisfy the requirements of both the Tenant and Landlord. DGI’s staff’s approach to each project is innovative and professional, and each team member came away with a level of confidence that DGI can control and meet the project schedule and costs."

Mike Simone, Construction Manager, Tishman Speyer Properties

In designing our new office space, we struggled with how to capture the essence of XOR's core values - quality, teamwork, balance, growth, fun. We had a lot of conceptual ideas but no idea of how incorporate them into our new surroundings. DGI worked diligently with us to design a creative and effective work environment for XOR and our clients. The end product is something that we are proud of and enjoy."

As a shopping center owner, we have used DePalma's retail expertise on numerous occasions. They completed the design for a major neighborhood center renovation in Dublin Ohio. They were instrumental in defining the overall strategic plan, completing the facade design in conjunction with the city and developed all marketing pieces and signage for the property. We also used them to consult with a weak anchor tenant on how to improve their sales and had them create custom pictures or graphics to show a prospective tenant what their sign would look like on the existing building facade. We have also used then to develop a signage program for two additional centers in suburban Kansas City and in Indianapolis. In all cases DePalma was very creative and professional. I could not recommend any firm more highly."
