OUR
STORY
SURVIVAL SKILLS
To encourage the pursuit of self-enrichment in search of the common excellence.
reinvent the norm
Re-in-vent (/ˌrēinˈvent/)
Change (something) so much that it appears
to be entirely new.
655 is well-known for being ambitious. We aspire to do more and to do it better-- to step outside of the pre-existing bounds, and to look sharp while we’re at it. With over sixty years behind us, it would be easy to fall into convention. However, at 655 Richmond, we choose to put a new twist on the old hat. We embrace creativity; we create legacies; we foster TRAILBLAZERS.
