The site will serve as the North American headquarters for Salerm Cosmetica, a Barcelona, Spain-based company that distributes hair salon products, equipment and furniture. The building will provide a combination of office, showroom and warehouse space. A completion date and the cost of the facility have not been released.
It will also be the global company's first to be designed using sustainable principles and LEED guidelines, according to Justin Mihalik, a principal of the Livingston, NJ-based Jarmel Kizel Architects and Engineers, which is doing the civil engineering work for the site and design and engineering work for the building itself.
"This project is a great example of sustainable design," Mihalik says. "We're able to use building information modeling and other technologies in the design, and the building will utilize high-performance HVAC equipment and a building automation system."
Other features, says Mihalik, include green roofing technology and extensive use of sustainable materials. "The design balances insulation values and mass to balance heat gain and energy use," he says.
