CSR Group has announced the formation of a joint venture company which will provide affordable turnkey alternative energy solutions to commercial and residential clients.
Francisco J. Salas AIA and Leon Cohen AIA, PP, principals of CSR Group, Michael Ashkenazi, PE, senior principal of Omni Tech Engineering and Michael Chilingerian Sales Engineer are the key executives of the new company. They will maintain offices in New Jersey, New York and Arizona.
Mr. Cohen stated, “this is something we have contemplated for some time. The two firms and our key staff members have worked together on hundreds of million dollars worth of design/build projects for the last 25 years. CSR handled the architectural design and development as well as the construction through its construction firm, CSR Construction Corp. while Omni-Tech provided engineering services.
Omni Tech is currently involved in several alternative energy design solutions as is CSR Group. Both firms, according to Mr. Salas , CSR President, have long been “green” companies and proponents of Solar Energy and Wind as cost effective renewable energy resources available.
Mr. Ashkenazi echoed his partners’ sentiments stating, “we are obliged to use our experience and background to provide services to those who are seeking tangible cost savings in their energy requirements while preserving our non-renewable resources. It’s good business for us and good business for our clients.”
