Today, on November 1, 2024, VALERE Architects proudly celebrates three years of delivering inspired designs, uncompromising quality, and value at every stage of the architectural process.
Since our founding, we’ve been driven by a clear mission: to add value to every project we touch, forging strong connections with our clients, employees, and community. Looking back, we reflect on the journey and look forward with excitement to our next steps as we continue to grow and expand.
“At VALERE, our mission has always been to offer value at every step,” says James Sowell, Vice President. “These past three years have brought tremendous growth—both personally and professionally. Every project, every challenge, and every client has offered us unique opportunities to learn and improve.”
Our commitment to delivering value goes beyond words; it’s deeply embedded in everything we do. This dedication has helped us become leaders in one of our primary sectors—the cannabis industry. We’re incredibly honored to be finalists in the prestigious International Cannabis Awards, the Emjay Awards, for Retail Services of the Year. This recognition speaks to VALERE's specialized knowledge in the cannabis industry and our capacity to creatively and precisely navigate the complexities of cannabis facility design.
James reflected, “Partnering with so many outstanding professionals across the cannabis sector has been instrumental in establishing VALERE as a trusted leader in cannabis facility design. Each partnership strengthens our portfolio and deepens our expertise.”
While cannabis design is a core specialty, VALERE has also expanded into new markets, including mixed-use, multi-family, commercial, and residential projects. We proudly serve the Greater Boston area and bring inspired, functional, and forward-thinking designs to diverse sectors. Every new project broadens our experience, allowing us to push the boundaries of architectural innovation.
Sowell adds, “This journey has been made possible thanks to our clients, partners, and the VALERE team, all of whom share our vision. We’re continuously motivated to build spaces that elevate communities and improve lives.”
Reflecting on the journey so far, we are deeply grateful to our clients and professional partners. Your trust, collaboration, and shared commitment have been essential to our achievements. Together, we have tackled challenges, embraced new ideas, and built spaces that have left a meaningful impact.
As we step into the future, we’re excited to reach new heights, continue exploring innovative solutions, and expand our portfolio with fresh, impactful designs. “Thank you to everyone who has contributed to achieving this milestone,” Sowell concludes. “The past three years have been remarkable, and I’m excited to see where the next year takes us. Let’s grow together.”
From all of us at VALERE Architects, thank you for being part of our journey. Here’s to many more years of growth, inspiration, and building a brighter future, one project at a time.
