Reflecting on Over 40 Years at High Associates Ltd.

Reflecting on Over 40 Years at
High Associates Ltd.

Ruth: Through my work, I have become well known throughout Lancaster County and beyond as a representative of the High organization. To most people, the High name means trust, leadership, and commitment to client success. I support my clients by finding them facilities that help achieve their functional goals but also the right image for their business.

Ruth: I have many transactions that I would say were big accomplishments. They all involved build-to-suit from the ground up. Negotiating in secret the purchase of several parcels of land for the Acme Distribution Center of 1,700,000 square feet at the Pennsylvania Turnpike interchange was an accomplishment early in my career. Recently, the new building being built in Greenfield for Thaddeus Stevens (89,000 square feet) is also a transaction to be proud of. I am also proud of our record for retaining commercial tenants, many of them for more than 30 years and counting, and watching their businesses grow.

Ruth: I have worked with the best professionals in their respective fields and I trust their work and advice completely. As brokers, we must rely on design, construction estimates, financial analysis, legal, land development (at times), construction, and then finally ongoing property management. Each of the team members in these fields at High is so good at what they do that our system to deliver finished spaces works efficiently.

Ruth: I’m looking forward traveling, working out, playing golf, making art, and babysitting my grandchild.

We thank Ruth for her contributions to the High Associates Sales & Leasing Team over the years, and wish her all the best in retirement!
