The Big 8 - Our Guiding Principles | Warehouse Twenty One

Big 8

Why we started in the first place

The foundation of WH21 is built upon the simple goal of doing what we love to do and finding a way to finance it. “The Big 8″ supports this goal and has become our mantra. Ultimately, our company is not about projects and revenue alone. We hope to leave each individual, company, and community that we work with a little better off.

Go Big

Have the courage to be exactly who we are and find a way to finance it.

People and Place

Care about our people and work space as if it is our lifeline. It is.

Always pour the top shelf

We will pass on work that won’t get our top treatment because of time and lack of interest. We will find projects that we can be passionate about rather than waiting for them all to come to us.

Leave it on the planet

Life is short, make a list and get them done while you can!

Become

Help ourselves, our employees, our clients, our families and community reach their full potential!

Should Be

We will keep the focus on the “should be” not the “is”. Meaning we want to keep growing and being progressive as people as well as a company. This isn’t about size and revenue alone!

Sandals allowed

Warehouses can be hot, so sandals should be cool. We will keep our sense of humor, laugh, joke, smile and barbeque!

Get in the game

We all have a responsibility to our community and deeply believe in downtowns, beautification of city, economic development and preservation of historical industrial spaces. Participate in what you believe in!
