BE PART OF #LARKENLIFE

We celebrated 60 years of success at Larken Associates during our annual company holiday party! It was a night filled with delicious food, holiday spirits, live music, and endless laughter as we celebrated our amazing associates.

Each year, we celebrate Thanksgiving together with a potluck lunch at our corporate office in Branchburg, NJ and our Bethlehem and York, PA locations. Our team brings in appetizers, entrees, and desserts to share with one another. It's a great chance to catch up and try some new recipes!

Our corporate office team brought the spooky spirit of the season to our annual Halloween costume contest. Congratulations to our winners!

Larken Associates' annual company picnic was extra special this year as we marked our 60th anniversary and reflected on our incredible journey that brought us here. From food trucks and cocktails to live music, lawn games, and unforgettable views, it was a day filled with fun, laughter, and connection.

We all screamed for ice cream as the Scream Truck rolled into our corporate office, showering our team with sweet scoops of happiness. Indulging in delicious treats is just one of the many perks of #LarkenLife!

We celebrated a successful evening at the 2025 Metropolitan Builders and Contractors Association of New Jersey Awards of Excellence! We received top honors across eight categories for The Ridge at Readington and won the Give Back Award for the second consecutive year for our continued support of From Houses to Homes, an organization providing indigenous Guatemalan families with sustainable housing, education, and healthcare.

Our corporate office was filled with extra laughter and creativity as we welcomed the next generation of builders for Take Your Child To Work Day! From exploring our workplace to building their very own birdhouses, it was a day of fun, learning, and inspiration. At Larken Associates, we’re proud to build not just great properties, but memories, too.

We believe in celebrating life's big moments—on and off the job site! Our team recently threw a construction-themed baby shower for our Assistant Project Manager, Jessica, complete with themed treats, fun decorations, and lots of laughs. Events like these are just one of the ways we build more than just communities. We build lasting connections and a supportive workplace!

Join our winning team and bring your game to the office! Our corporate office kicked off Super Bowl festivities with a team lunch showing their team pride in style. Come be a part of our energetic and passionate company culture!

Thanks to our hardworking team, our Larken Living residential communities took home multiple First Place and Trilogy awards at the 2024 Keystone Awards by the Pennsylvania Apartment Association! We were incredibly proud to be recognized for outstanding leasing, maintenance and overall quality.

Two of our favorite office mascots, Huck and Sophie, have been promoted to Big Brother and Big Sister! Congratulations to Christine, our Commercial Leasing Assistant, and Jodi, our Human Resources Generalist, who are both expecting new bundles of joy. Our team came together to celebrate the excitement of their growing families and new chapters of life.

We wished a happy 60th birthday to our President/CEO David Gardner! We surprised him with a Grateful Dead-themed party with tie-dye shirts, delicious food and lots of laughs. Thanks to all who helped us pull it off!

It's a paws-atively great day when our team brings in their furry family members! Being a pet-friendly office helps our team make stronger connections with each other as they get to know one another's four-legged companions.

During Women In Construction Week, we officially became a member of the National Association of Women in Construction! With so many women on our team, we're especially proud to be a member of this association that advocates for the value and impact of women builders, professionals and tradeswomen in all aspects of the construction industry.

LET'S HEAR WHAT OUR TEAM SAYS
JESSICA HECKMAN
Director of Residential Asset Management
In a fast-paced industry like real estate, it is not always easy to keep your employees front and center. Larken Associates is one of the rare companies that not only places a tremendous value on its employees’ well-being, but truly makes us feel like a part of the family. Their focus on collaboration and individual growth allows each of us to achieve our full potential while making a difference in the lives of our tenants and residents.
NICOLE SIESSEL
Construction Coordinator
Larken’s a great place for women in construction because it allows you to be everything. I’m not just a professional, I’m a mother, too, so for me it’s very important for me to have both sides of my life present at all times. I’m not just a woman in construction, I’m an individual in construction and they always support that.
SUSAN LIVINGSTONE-MARTINETTI
