"The Claremont Corporate Center will be a truly unique site since it will feature a highly efficient classic design, which utilizes the existing stone structure of the turn-of-the-century Risk Mansion, family home of the 19th century medical doctor, Dr. William H. Risk, who settled in Summit in 1873, and expands upon its original design to provide all the state-of-the-art amenities that are offered in a modern office building," Heller tells GlobeSt.com.

The plans include preserving many of the original brownstone and granite characteristics of the existing 19th century Risk Mansion, which will be the epicenter of the new facility, while constructing a new, modern office building on three sides of the mansion with underground parking.

Additional features of the building include a two-story main entry lobby with a glass curtain wall façade and a 20-inch stone wall featuring the exterior façade of the existing stone structure. The slate floors will include an intimate carpeted seating area featuring contemporary furniture and planting. In addition, the facility will feature new aluminum windows, as well as various energy-efficient upgrades, ranging from extensive day lighting and interior occupancy sensors to new elevators and exterior lighting, and landscaping. WESKetch Architecture of Millington is the architect of record for the project.
