Last weekend a surprise retirement party as held for founders John & Diane Giblin.

From Jared Giblin:

“This past Saturday, my brothers and I pulled off a surprise retirement party for our parents — a well-deserved celebration of their incredible journey. As of 1/1/25, they officially passed the torch, selling the business to my brother Rich and me.
My dad was one of nine, my mom one of five. They came from humble beginnings and built something truly special — something I’m honored to carry forward. Their legacy is defined by hard work, consistency, and a remarkable partnership I’ve been lucky to witness throughout my life.
They treated employees like family and always put customers first. That commitment built a foundation of trust that allowed the company to grow and thrive. Today, those values remain at the core of our mission: to lead the industry in trust, craftsmanship, and reliability.”

Thank you to @balloonbarrr for the incredible work designing and essembling the balloon arch & decorations making a memorable space for the great photos of the evening!

Of course thank you @albaon53 for hospitality and help setting up the event!

MIT Site 3

✔ About the Project:
The Site 3 (238 Main Street) building combines new and existing structures, reflecting both the history of Kendall Square and its future of innovation. A mixed-use building, Site 3 incorporates the existing structure at 238 Main Street (known as the Kendall Building) with a 12-story addition providing new commercial laboratory and office spaces. At the main entrance, a front-to-back five-story atrium brings natural light inside the structure and connects the lower masses of the existing building and the new addition. The building’s ground floor offers retail opportunities on Main Street, Hayward Street, Wadsworth Street, and along its southern side, expanding on existing retail activity in this area. The design, which allows for maximum visual transparency between the sidewalk and retail spaces, optimizes pedestrian flow in and out of the building.

✔ Scope of Project:
On this new construction project Draper partnered with TK Elevator installing six (6) elevator cab interiors with laminated glass side walls and stainless steel rear walls matching the lobby décor.

84 State Street Boston, MA ✔ About the Project:

84 State Street Boston, MA

✔ About the Project:
The India Building is a beautifully restored, 11-story Beaux-Arts style building enjoys one of the most desirable locations in the heart of Boston’s financial district and is only steps away from the vibrant Faneuil Hall Marketplace. Access to major highways, walking distance to virtually all public transportation, public parking garages and proximity to some of the city’s favorite destinations make this one of Boston’s most attractive business addresses.

✔ Scope of Project:
Draper collaborated with both Fusion Design Consultants and Lincoln Properties to renovate four (4) extremely dated elevators. A common hurdle buildings in the Financial District face when upgrading their interiors is how to move away from bronze or brass finishes without having to change out every detail throughout the building. In these elevators all bronze metal was refinished to a dark oil rubbed patina finish. The goal was to get away from the mirror bronze within the elevators without a having to upgrade the control fixtures and transition well from the lobby entrance frames. Porcelanosa stone and Chilewich fabrics accent the Draper’s Faneuil Hall cab configuration.
