Kimmerle Group (KG), a Harding and New York City-based multifaceted design, real estate planning, development and branding practice, has announced the promotion of two senior associate/senior project managers to principals. William J. Kimmerle, AIA and X. “Cindy” Cui, AIA bring demonstrated leadership and extensive experience across a broad range of projects to their new roles.

“These well-earned appointments recognize William and Cindy’s vital contribution to helping shape our firm’s continued growth and success,” said George J. Kimmerle, founder and president. “Both individuals have a strong commitment to our clients, our profession and to upholding the standards of excellence for which Kimmerle Group is known throughout our industry. We look forward to seeing both thrive in these expanded leadership roles.”

“Cindy and Bill have both consistently brought a high level of design skill and creativity to their work, along with high levels of technical ability. Both are researchers and constant learners, which are critical skillsets for an architect. And best of all, they are a treat to work with personally, both in the firm and with clients,” said Paul Newman, AIA, CID, vice president and partner of Kimmerle Newman Architects.

William Kimmerle joined KG in 2010 and contributes a leading voice to the firm’s medical, corporate, institutional and nonprofit practices; spearheaded the expansion of the firm’s procurement practice, Workspace; and leads the firm’s New York City division, Urban Studio.

Cui is a LEED-accredited professional who specializes in new construction, major renovations and has led KG in finishing several LEED buildings. With work experience that spans planning, architectural, urban design and interior design, she joined KG in 2005 and has worked in Europe, Asia and the United States on diverse projects ranging from hospital campus planning to small town redevelopment planning, office building design and construction management to high rise, mixed-use office towers.
