Warren and Mahoney says it is delighted to have promoted Thomas Hale to Principal, with the architect promoted off the back of the enhancement of the practice’s services since he joined the practice in early 2022.
Bringing deep experience in urban design, master-planning and place-making, Hale is involved in project delivery across Australasia – mainly within the project origination, strategy and planning phases.
Warren and Mahoney regard Hale’s client relationship management, project and team leadership skills as second to none, which combine with his infectious energy, collaborative approach, and deep market knowledge, to become a highly valued member of its leadership team.
“Thomas's promotion is thoroughly deserved,” says Warren and Mahoney’s Managing Director, John Coop.
"As a passionate urbanist, and a talented urban designer, he is leading new ways of working at Warren and Mahoney. He is a champion of our creative culture, and his urban design specialism adds a valuable cross-disciplinary perspective in design discussions across a broad range of project typologies.
"With two decades of urban design experience, this promotion is not only testament to Thomas's dedication to his profession, but also a strategic step that aligns with the firm's commitment to excellence and progressive design practice."
Hale was previously at Hassell and Woods Bagot across a five year period, and before that at Angelo Candalepas & Associates, as well as spending time in the UK with Zaha Hadid Architects. Hale is also a Founding Director of the Urban Land Institute’s Urban Innovations Competition, and remains on the Board of the Urban Land Institute of Sydney District Council, outlining his commitment to urban planning.
“Bringing a deep understanding of the planning and development frameworks in New South Wales and strong connections into the local market, this promotion is an important step in our Australian and international growth and provides exciting potential to assist clients with complex and city-shaping projects of scale," Coop concludes.
