Project Team Overview

For a number of financial, legal and business reasons the Taylor’s first commercial project to be located at 350 Neelytown Road required setting up a new operating entity. This new entity would be named TBE- Montgomery, LLC (TBEM). For the Montgomery Project, the Management Team of TBEM has assembled a group of highly-experienced contractors with proven track records in projects of similar scope and scale. In addition Taylor sought out the most reputable engineers and legal advisors to provide the professional expertise to the project. They are as follows;
