(PRWEB) September 23, 2005 -- Following the success of SunCor Development Company’s first Hadyen Ferry Lakeside office tower, construction began recently on the 12-story phase II building.
“ The intention is to create a setting for vibrant urban life through live/work/play functions in the development. ”
At completion, it will feature 300,000 square-feet of Class A office and retail space. The nautical design theme found in the first building is carried through the second tower, with the façade featuring a sapphire blue, acoustically engineered glass skin and below-grade parking. The building is scheduled for completion in February 2007.
“The second office tower will be located west of the existing eight-story office tower and is intended to further enhance the mixed-use development with workspace that has become highly-desirable since completion of the first tower,” stated Buck Yee, principal and project director at Phoenix-based DFD CornoyerHedrick, the project architect. “The intention is to create a setting for vibrant urban life through live/work/play functions in the development.”
The architectural massing of the towers is both sensitive to views of the Butte and Mill and yet distinctive enough to further create a landmark symbol. The architecture and color of the buildings were inspired by the lakeside location, Yee said. The state of the art office space includes a top-quality telecommunications infrastructure, acoustic engineering to minimize noise penetration, high-efficiency building envelope, special interior lighting for computer workspaces, a flexible and efficient floor plan and extra floor-load capabilities.
McCarthy Building Companies in Phoenix is the project contractor. Jim Fijan and Jerry Roberts of CB Richard Ellis, are the exclusive leasing brokers for the office tower.
Hayden Ferry Lakeside, a development of SunCor Development Company, is the first mixed-use development to break ground on the banks of Tempe Town Lake. For more information about SunCor or Hayden Ferry Lakeside, visit www.suncoraz.com.
