the journey…..Our principal, Jerry Pucillo, has spent over 30 years in direct service to the goal of participating in the creation of real estate projects that have inherent meaning beyond the physical bricks and mortar. This journey led to the creation of over 1000 apartments for low income seniors along with the creation of “elder life corp” which brought the residents of the developments together in a mutually supportive environment. This entity was later incorporated into the local Catholic Charities office of the Archdiocese of Boston. He also developed a unique mixed income condo/coop for families facing displacement due to gentrification. Engagement in non-profit Board work led to the establishment of a home for those in alcohol recovery, as well as another home for persons struggling with AIDS, addiction, and single parented households, and the creation of a support system to help these residents be successful in the pursuit of their dreams for themselves and their children. On the corporate side, it led to one of the first LEED platinum rated office buildings in the US, and a corporate engineering center designed to encourage employee participation and engagement, all in a sustainability designed building. It also led to the position of creating and implementing programs as the Director of Sustainability initiatives for a private equity Fund that has invested over $1B in real estate projects. Recent initiatives include the conceptualization, planning and roll out of a national initiative on behalf of a private foundation that will include the design and development of a network of buildings serving local communities Development consulting on a state of the art assisted living community that focused on local community engagement and a goal of reaching near passive house building standards. Jerry also has pushed the boundaries of new technological advances in pursuit of more cost effective solutions to building programs and in that regard did one of the first geo- thermal applications in Boston, one of the larger modular housing developments done up to that time, and was engaged in the business planning for a manufactured housing plant.

the company….. Centergreen was started out of the desire to be engaged in the “center “ of sustainability initiatives and real estate processes and projects that deliver low impact, environmentally aware and profitable results to those who make this commitment. Each development project is unique and requires a focused response especially if it seeks to meet more than the traditional bottom line return expectations. Each project requires an individual or team response based on the phase and complexity of the undertaking. We employ sustainable and integrative thinking to our work which we believe leads to well conceived and implemented real estate projects. We can also employ organizational development strategies that enhance, restore and regenerate the clients we work with and the places we live work and play. We have been engaged in small and large scale real estate programs and have provided everything from direct development responsibility to development consultation based on client needs. Over the years we have developed a specialized interest in approaching development projects from the perspective of how they impact the community. Through long term relationships we can bring a very sophisticated team and approach to sustainability when required.
