- Marya Rose, chief administrative officer, Cummins
"When our firm decided to invest in a major office renovation, we knew downtown was where we needed to stay. Not only are we located in the most accessible and vibrant part of our city, but being downtown allows us to attract the type of talent we want. To draw the best and brightest, you need to have a space that is collaborative, that's social, and that's connected to the surrounding context within the larger environment of the city. That's what the new workforce is looking for, and it's what we've tried to create here by taking advantage of our unique downtown location."
