After graduating from Kent State, Brian DiPietro joined WTW Architects, a national leader in student centers. By 2019, he had become a partner, leading the firm's multifamily and student housing sectors, two areas that flourished under his direction.
In 2021, he decided to leave citing, "They were trying to sell the firm, and I didn't agree with the approach, among other things." Within a week, a former client called with a proposal for a major apartment project. DiPietro won the job against two large Pittsburgh firms. The development, stretching more than 1,000 feet and including 277 units, recently opened to residents.
