Class ‘AA’ Corporate Headquarters Office Campus – phased new construction at former Polaroid Property – Gold LEED ‘Core & Shell’ Certification |
 Print Project Description |
This 180,039 square foot three story headquarters building has been designed and constructed to meet the LEED GOLD STANDARD CERTIFIED energy conservation requirements and provides new parking located under a portion of the building. The building is part of an overall new corporate campus development of 1,082,000 SF now in construction and leasing called RESERVOIR WOODS. The overall development consists of two related corporate campus parcels of wooded land and includes associated extensive off-site traffic improvements to Winter Street.
The property on which this new three story headquarters office building is located is the former Polaroid Facility located on wooded land in Waltham,
Massachusetts (just west of Boston). It is located within the mid-portion of Boston’s Route 128 Technology Corridor and the campus faces the Cambridge Reservoir.
This new headquarters building has been designed to meet the LEED energy conservation GOLD Standard (Shell & Core) and has a unique ability to either offer two headquarter main building entrances with separate lobbies or a single headquarters lobby with two entrances (one on the North and one on the South facade). This leasing advantage is expressed in the unique building façade using a different but compatible curtain wall design on the two ends of the building.
The entire property was purchased in partnership between Davis Marcus Partners (Developer) and Prudential Real Estate Investors (Equity Partner) to create a world-class headquarters campus.
The first phase of redevelopment, a 590,000 SF Office building with attached parking structure is now completed and fully leased, the East Campus features a 312,000 square foot office complex and new six-story parking garage now in construction using ‘Fast-track GMP’ procedures with the project scheduled for delivery within a demanding thirteen month period (‘Core & Shell’ to be delivered in February 2009).
This 180,000 SF new office building (phase two), called 850 Winter Street is now completed (June 2008) and ready for leasing..
GDHarley & Associates represented the equity investor – Prudential Real Estate Investors providing due diligence services and review of the proposed architectural designs prior to the loan closing; during following construction phase we provided monthly construction inspections, attendance at selected construction coordination meetings, review of monthly DRAW Package and project close-out reviews.
