Introducing FLCO.com

July 1, 2014

So we teased some big news a few weeks back in early June and we meant it! As you may have noticed, we’ve been busy bees at the Flaherty & Collins corporate office. Last week, we launched our new corporate website, www.flco.com, and could not be more proud of the results. We’re excited about the sleek design, mobile integration and how well the site highlights our growing portfolio of projects.

Aside from the beautiful properties and developments, we worked to make the site more functionable for visitors. For example, you can easily print 1-page PDF resumes, and print nicely organized property summary pages. We’re not quite done with the tweaks and fun features yet – we’ll have a few more additions to the site in the coming months, too.

You have might have noticed our brand logo received some sprucing up as well. Our new logo – as soon above – has been a bit hit around the office and represents us well in print and digital spaces.

Feel free to visit the new site and let us know what you think! Have a safe and Happy Independence Day!
