Busch has a proven track record of providing strategic consulting and leadership on projects worth hundreds of millions of dollars, as well as with relatively small scale neighborhood and community economic development efforts. Current Rustpoint clients will continue working with Busch, and will now have the added expertise, resources and integration of Peregrine.

“Eric is a natural fit for Peregrine,” said Bradner. “He has already partnered with Peregrine on projects such as the $100 million Zion Bible College redevelopment, and has always impressed us with his knowledge and strong work ethic. Our already strong team of industry experts will now be even more robust with the arrival of Eric. We are thrilled to have him join our team.” Bradner and Busch have worked together in various capacities and on projects dating back to 2005.

With headquarters in Rumford and recently added offices in Newport and Boston, Peregrine Group is an award winning advisory, development and project management firm, nationally recognized for transformative projects in community development, healthcare and hospitality, including the redevelopment of Rumford Chemical Works, The Ocean House, and several restaurants across the country for Iron Chef Morimoto.

“Peregrine Group is not just about bricks and mortar but the full impact a project will on have the community,” said Busch. “I share their philosophy, and am honored to join an impactful team that is helping to improve the built environment by combining a thoughtful, practical and pragmatic approach to visionary projects.”
