CHANDLER, AZ—With an intent to innovate at the highest level possible, the recently completed class-A two-story facility has open offices, exposed duct work and an outdoor fire pit. The 70,000-square-foot building was completed by LGE Design Build on behalf of Crown Castle.
David Sellers, president of LGE Design Build, tells Globest.com: "LGE Design Build is pleased to complete Crown Castle's build to suit. We approached the construction with the intent to innovate as much as possible. The result is a beautiful building that is highly functional."
Crown Castle is located at southeast corner of Germann Road and Stearman Drive. Crown Castle is the nation's largest provider of shared wireless infrastructure with approximately 40,000 towers.
"Crown Castle's new Chandler home is a destination for the modern worker. The recently completed facility is located within walking distance of 1 million square feet of retail space," said Sellers.
The build-to-suit's entry includes steel beams and columns accented by limestone and reclaimed wood finishes with industrial metal accents and a central lawn with a pavilion contributing to a corporate feel. The building also has two balcony areas with metal trellises to provide shade around the perimeter of the structure.
"The design blended high contemporary features as well as industrial materials and finishes to create a building that speaks to both esthetics. The intent being to create an aesthetically beautiful building that also provides highly efficient contemporary work spaces that embodied the ideals of the client," said Vince Dalke, LGE Design Group's vice president/principal.
The project director for the design implementation team also discussed the collaboration process.
"The design build process was amazingly successful. The project team: owner, developer, architect, designer, engineers and vendors collaborated to create a unique progressive solution for Crown Castle that exceeded most original expectations," said Susan Sentell, LeonardDesign's project director for Crown Castle's Chandler, AZ implementation team.
