Client
A corporation that manages a global portfolio of advanced technology companies with a diverse range of products: a global supplier with over 70 years of experience in isolation, sealing and damping applications for automotive, electronics and industrial markets. The client had occupied their present location for nearly 70 years.
Challenge
Create Class A office space for the corporate parent company and administrative offices as well as research and development lab areas for a subsidiary.
Provide a solution for the client that was right sized in the near term with a readily available opportunity for expansion within three years.
Solution
Ford Land mobilized a team of internal resources and quickly responded with a multi-disciplinary assessment of the client's needs. Team members from Sales & Leasing, Engineering, Site Planning, Estimating and Project Management quickly developed a concept plan, scope of work and lease proposal.
Ford Land developed the initial concept design into a set of detailed contract requirements which were then implemented. The Ford Land team worked closely with client representatives throughout the construction to ensure timely delivery of the project within budget to the customer's satisfaction.
The completed facility includes:
- A common entrance lobby serving both business entities
- Office space with upgraded lighting, finishes and HVAC
- Private and shared administrative office spaces adjacent to labs
- Lab areas including space for a dynamometer, a Precision Lab, a Polymer Lab, an Anechoic Chamber and a Fabrication Shop
