Construction of a 1,405 square metre (15,133 square feet) high office
content warehouse headquarters building for HID Corporation Limited, part
of the Assa Abloy Worldwide Lock and Security Company.
The tenant wanted
the flexibility of having office expansion space, which we have accommodated
by leaving unfitted office areas at ground floor level. Warehouse ancillary
areas, including canteen and toilet facilities, reception area and conference
room (fitted with full audio visual facilities) are located at ground
floor level. There is the ability to accommodate a further 2,900 square
feet of office accommodation to add to the 4,200 square feet of offices
currently at first floor level. The building has currently approximately
30% office content.
Construction commenced
on the 14th January 2002, as a greenfield site. The buildings on Phase
One were completed on 26th July 2002 and were occupied a week later.
Total project time
from start to tenant moving: 28 weeks.
