ARCO Expands Tenant Improvement Capabilities in New England with Liam Bettez as Director of Accounts

Liam Bettez is returning home to the Boston area to focus on delivering comprehensive, turnkey design and construction solutions for office tenant improvements and adaptive reuse projects throughout the New England region. Backed by ARCO’s national resources and integrated design-build platform, ARCO will strengthen its ability to serve clients seeking to reposition and modernize existing assets.

“Boston continues to lead the way in office repositioning and creative adaptive reuse, as owners and tenants look for smarter ways to unlock value within existing assets,” said Jason Grant, President of ARCO New England. “Adding Liam to the team strengthens our ability to support clients throughout Greater Boston and the broader New England market with thoughtful, technically sound solutions. His experience navigating complex historic renovations and tenant improvements will allow us to better serve developers and owners who are investing in the revitalization of our city’s commercial and mixed-use spaces.”

Tenant Improvements Project Experience

Liam joins the New England office after five years in ARCO/Murray’s Chicago office, where he gained extensive experience delivering office projects and complex historic adaptive reuse work. His project portfolio includes:

• The Varsity
  • Conversion of a one-room theater into multifamily housing
• Aviation Institute of Maintenance
  • Conversion of a former fitness center into an aviation school
• Pocketbook
  • Conversion of a historic textile mill into a boutique hotel.

He’s additionally completed more than 200,000 SF of office space across suburban and urban markets nationwide.

“I’ve spent the last five years focused heavily on commercial renovations out of ARCO’s Chicago office,” said Bettez. “I’m thrilled to move back home to Massachusetts and contribute to the continued growth and service offerings of our New England office. There’s a massive rise in conversions here, and we’re already seeing an uptick in office as well. ARCO’s design-build approach will provide unique opportunities to get into spaces faster while reinventing some of our historic, vacant buildings that need a high level of expertise to execute.” With the addition of Bettez, ARCO New England further reinforces its commitment to strategic growth, specialized expertise, and delivering best-in-class design-build solutions across the region.
