The new building was integrated at the concourse and ground levels with the Phase I building facilities. The building envelope consisted of curtain wall and glazing with some architectural pre-cast at the loading area.

Tenant Fit-Up

As Owner’s Project Management Representative, ZW was awarded the contract to provide full Project Management Services on Landlord and Tenant Fit-up work.

Tenants include: Health, University, Research, Open and Collaborative spaces, and Retail Spaces.
