Siemens' Planned Call Center in Line for $1.5 Mil in County-State Tax Credits

ORLANDO-Already one of Orlando’s largest employers with a work force of 5,000, Siemens Westinghouse Corp. is about to become one of the area’s largest commercial office space users as well.

The locally based division of Germany-based Siemens AG plans to build a 225,000-sf, $40 million call center next year in the Quadrangle Office Park adjacent its two existing 225,000-sf buildings.

Siemens also leases 80,000 sf at the nearby Central Florida Research Park next to the University of Central Florida campus. The company’s telecom-switch factor in suburban Lake Mary, Fl. takes up 100,000 sf. That would give Siemens a total of 855,000 sf of leased office in metro Orlando.
