55 Allen Plaza

CLIENT NEEDS

Ernst & Young was seeking a building that could accommodate their parking requirements of 4 spaces per 1,000 RSF and also had very visible signage needs.  To accommodate their parking needs, we devised a shared parking strategy with the W Hotel which was next door.  The signage on top of the building is visible from the I-75/85 Connector which is one of the busiest travel corridors and carries almost 300,000 cars a day.  Ernst & Young dubbed their space the “workplace of the future.”  The space showcased innovative workplace office standards for the consulting industry.

LOCATION

DETAILS

  • 345,000 RSF
  • 14 stories

SOLUTION

We had already constructed 30 Allen Plaza across the street and were able to mobilize quickly onto a new project.  The property was a brownfields site as there had previously been an auto repair facility on the site.  We managed the process with the EPA to get clearance to develop on the site.
