This state-of-the-art eight-story sustainable office building in downtown Charlottesville has 187,000 square feet and will serve as the corporate headquarters for multiple tenants. The project leverages sustainable design features unique to structures of its scale in Virginia. The building features an extensive green roof terrace; safe, healthy Cradle to Cradle Design™–assessed materials; and high-efficiency mechanical systems. It has six floors of CLT (cross-laminated timber) construction and is the first of its kind on the East Coast, joining other best-in-class timber frame buildings at the cutting edge of sustainable development. ColonialWebb performed both the core and shell and the tenant improvement scopes for this project.
