What's the brightest, high-res projector I can get for Mahalo's bright office?
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

While I can't find definitive evidence that it is the brightest outside of the company's own claim, Christie Digital claims that the Roadie HD 35K is the "highest lumens offered in a native HD product". At $160k, it's definitely overkill for the office, but I did want to illustrate the range, and you did ask for brightest!
Assuming that the ability to do 1080p is important (increased readability, etc), and you're looking for something about twice as bright as the typical high-powered projector, the Panasonic PT-DW10000U projector, at 10000 lumens and 1920x1080 would fit the bill. Pricing varies fairly widely, but you can get one for about $45k, though that's without a lens, which will be in the $3-5k range.

More information is needed about your room to give a good recommendation.
It basically comes down to -
how large an image do you need to create?
how bright is the office space (are we talking a wall of windows near the screen, or more like normal florescent office lighting.)?
and
how high a resolution do you really need/want?
Size is really determined by how far away the farthest viewer is - the typical recommendation would be that the screen height be around 1/6 of the distance to the furthest viewer. IE If the furthest person viewing is 60 feet away, then ideally you'd have a 10' high screen (which would be 18 feet wide for a standard 16x9 format screen.) To do a 10x18 in a brightly light office would require an extremely powerful (and crazy expensive) projector. But it really depends on how far away the farthest viewer is, and how much detail they need to see.
In terms of resolution - unless you really want to show blu-ray movies or something of that sort, WXGA (1280x800) which is just a bit bigger then 720p is fine. You'll pay MUCH more for the same brightness in a 1080p projector, and for looking at web pages, 720p is probably better. Problem with 1080p is that the higher the resolution the smaller UI items tend to get unless you manually zoom in on them - so you'd need a bigger (and therefore brighter) projector for the same "viewability."
In terms of projector type and brightness,
A number of folks have pointed you towards the large format Christie or Barco projectors - and they certainly are the brightest and most beautiful available - but crazy expensive - and probably more then you need.
But in order to give you a specific recommendation, I'd need answers to the questions above.
One other thought - in a bright room, an LCD or Plasma will tend to hold up MUCH better then a projector - the question is, is one available large enough for your needs at an affordable cost.

M$Panasonic makes lots of bright and resonably(for projectors) priced projectors... Also if you are able to use the next room over for rear projection you can get by with a less bright projector.

Simply stated, the JVC DLA-RS20 is the best 1080p projector we've ever reviewed.
Is it perfect - no, but it is not only extremely good in almost every category we consider, but it is also better in many of those categories, than any other projector. Some projectors are particularly good at some things, whereas the RS20 is extremely good at almost everything that counts.
Black level performance is unmatched. Shadow detail is definitely very good. Sharpness is on the high side of average for 1080p projectors, but then none of them is weak in this area. It can't quite match the sharpness of the best, but for most of us, is close enough as to not matter.
