Boston – Hirsch Construction Corp. is on its way to completing the 1,000th project since its inception in 1983. The project will be Jimmy Choo opening in New York City on Madison Avenue in spring of this year.
This month, AKRIS Boston opened on 29 Newbury Street. Hirsch has been working with luxury retailers for the past 33 years.
AKRIS, which is an independent family-owned fashion house, started in St. Gallen, a Swiss town known for its tradition as the heart of the textile industry. Two brothers, Albert and Peter Kriemler of AKRIS, are the third generation in the business. AKRIS has also been nominated this month for a design award in Wallpaper Magazine.
The space on 29 Newbury Street is being relocated from across the street. The new 2,200sf store has a wood floor manufactured in Switzerland. A custom three-level lift made from glass was built specifically for this location. The lift allows visibility from the street to the back of store. The millwork is fabricated from a company in Switzerland, and it was installed by local contractors.

This enduring partnership is like many others Hirsch has formed.
Over the past 30 years, Hirsch Construction Corp. has been a key player in the luxury retail store world. Their 1000th project demonstrates their long-standing reputation with clients and within the industry.
