Located on 20 acres, the overall site program provides for: a 186,000 gross square foot Office Building (144,000 g.s.f. of FAR), a 71,000 gross square foot Industrial Building, structured parking for 530 vehicles, surface parking for 275 vehicles and a central landscaped amenity area. The first phase of this project was Master Planning and Programming.
The Office Building is located along the northern side of the site, permitting a clear approach from Industrial Road. The Industrial Building is located on the southern part of the site. The two buildings are connected by a parking structure that serves the needs of both. They are also connected by a central landscaped amenity that is conversely protected and enclosed by the three structures. The lower, one-story Industrial Building permits direct southern sunlight into the central landscape amenity and office building. While the two buildings are connected in these ways, their separation still permits a potential site sub-division if exit strategies are needed in the future. Structured parking provides for more open site area, permitting a landscaped employee amenity. This is important, as the site is located in a fairly tough industrial context. Structured parking also reduces the site’s impervious area, thus improving storm water management, reducing heat island effect and fostering sustainability.
