Signs of Hope in Market Still in Recovery Mode

摘要

The general building sector has yet to see a strong rebound from the downturn of 2008. Still, bright spots are emerging in some markets, offering design firms a glimmer of hope. As a design firm with many corporate clients, San Francisco-based Gensler took a hit during the recession. Today, however, its revenues indicate a modest recovery. In the New York City metropolitan area, the firm saw general building revenues jump to $90.5 million in 2012 from $73.7 million in 2011. That increase is due to improved commercial sector revenue, which rose to $65.2 million from $50.7 million during that period.
