In addition to valuing the cost efficiency associated with adaptive reuse, Premier adheres to the value of these developments, especially sustainability and urban revitalization that contribute to the improvement and growth of cities while preserving their unique character. “Redeveloping underperforming assets can revitalize urban areas and contribute to a city’s economic and social growth,” said Sanborn. “I’m excited at the prospect of enhancing the overall appeal of downtowns and also helping to preserve a city’s heritage by maintaining a sense of continuity in the urban landscape.”

Sanborn’s portfolio consists of a wide spectrum of projects, including high-rise multifamily, luxury residential, hospitality, speculative office spaces, historic preservation, adaptive reuse, and industrial sectors. Her prior experience resulted in the creation of new developments that stimulate economic growth through the incorporation of multiple revenue-generating elements for these projects.  

“Aimee’s ability to conceive adaptive reuse and mixed-use structures aligns with contemporary demands from the commercial real estate market,” said Franklin Piñerúa, Chief Commercial Officer of Premier.  “We’re thrilled by the prospect of her creative and innovative solutions to meet evolving needs, such as transforming old structures into appealing residential or hospitality spaces, while also maximizing land use and addressing space constraints.” 

Throughout her professional tenure, Sanborn has exemplified a rich background in both architecture and business development. Before joining Premier, Sanborn served as a principal architect of Powers Brown Architecture. Prior to that, she held pivotal roles as principal, shareholder, and team leader at Merriman Anderson Architects. She earned a Master of Architecture degree from the University of South Florida.
