This holiday season, BBR would like to honor our clients by donating to World Central Kitchen. WCK, founded in 2010, by José and Patricia Andrés, is an organization devoted to providing meals in the wake of natural disasters and times of crisis.

Currently, during the COVID pandemic, WCK is working across America to safely distribute individually packaged, fresh meals in communities that need support. Families can pick up and take home meals, and delivery is provided to seniors who cannot venture outside.

After 14 fruitful years at Two Grand Central Plaza (140 East 45th Street), we are excited to announce that effective January 1, 2021, BBR Partners is moving its main office to Park Avenue Plaza at 55 East 52nd Street. Please note that all of our phone numbers will remain the same.

Our new mailing address will be:

The move is a testament to you, our clients and partners, and the good work we have done and will continue to do together. It also reflects our whole-hearted belief in the vibrancy and resiliency of New York City, and our commitment to its future.

While we have adjusted seamlessly to a remote work environment, we strongly believe that creativity and teamwork are more easily achieved in person. At the same time, we remain committed to the safety of our colleagues. We have instituted every possible measure to ensure their continued well-being, and expect the vast majority of our staff will continue to work remotely until it is safe for everyone to return to an in-person work environment.
