PALM BEACH GARDENS, FL—A host of business and political dignitaries were on hand on Tuesday to official open the new UTC Center for Intelligent Buildings complex here.
The facility will serve as the global headquarters for UTC Climate, Controls & Security, a unit of Connecticut-based United Technologies Corp. The company, which is a provider of heating, ventilating, air conditioning and refrigeration systems, as well as building controls, automation, fire and security systems, states the 224,000 square-foot building will eventually house approximately 500 employees. Published reports put the cost of the project between $115 million and $150 million.
In addition to providing state-of-the art workspace, the UTC Center for Intelligent Buildings features innovative United Technologies products, integrated systems and interactive displays from company brands such as Carrier, Otis, Automated Logic, Chubb, Edwards, Kidde and Lenel. The building is designed to meet the U.S. Green Building Council's LEED Platinum standards.
