MIAMI-In a positive sign for South Florida’s construction industry, Stiles has announced a $5 million tenant improvement project. Stiles will build out 105,000 square feet of space at the new Amadeus North America headquarters in Miami.
“This project is highly complicated and includes customized power systems not typically found in corporate build-outs,” says Oscar Rau, facilities manager at Amadeus. “Therefore we were very careful in selecting a construction firm to lead this charge and feel confident that Stiles’ expert team will complete our new space on time and within budget.”
Amadeus’ new headquarters is located at 3470 NW 82nd Ave. in Doral. Stiles is building out most of the corporate space, which is geared toward functionality and hurricane storm protection. The space for the travel technology provider includes a service call center, laboratories, and Amadeus’ main customer training center. Construction on the project started in April and will wrap up in August.
“The biggest challenge on this project is the schedule,” Randy Zerra, a project executive at Stiles, tells GlobeSt.com. “It’s very aggressive. It’s a large footprint, and it has a lot of server and cabling rooms. We’re building out 105,000 square feet in five months--and this is not just your normal tenant improvement.”
Plans for the project also include high-end interior finishes, such as white glass floors, illuminated back painted glass with LED light coves, theatrical ceilings, and custom wood millwork. The offices will also house a state-of-the-art hospitality room with interactive glass screens, LED video displays and 48” custom light fixtures.
With its new space, Amadeus is working to increase energy-efficiency and offer strong hurricane protection. That means the space will don its own chiller system that can remain fully operational during heavy windstorms and hurricanes, as well as an energy-efficient flywheel UPS technology system to store and generate power.
This isn’t the first build out Stiles has won in recent months. The company is also working on a build out for Franklin Templeton. That project spans 87,000 square feet and also includes servers and cabling in what is the former Stiles headquarters in Ft. Lauderdale.
“It’s starting to loosen up on the construction side,” Zerra says. “We have a lot of activity here in our pre-construction department. A lot of projects are coming through. It’s a good sign.”
