Broccolini Wins Two Tenders for LEED Gold Office Towers from the Federal Government
May 27, 2010
Broccolini will begin work this summer on two LEED Gold office towers.
The firm was awarded the contract to design, develop and build the towers, totaling more than 900,000 rentable square feet of Class A office space for the Department of Public Works and Government Serves Canada (PWGSC) in Gatineau, Quebec.
The 12-storey, 484,000-square-foot office tower, to be located on Carriere Boulevard in Gatineau, features architecture promoting a healthy balance between efficient planning and the preservation and restoration of natural green space. It will enhance the site’s attractions, taking advantage of the extensive mature tree coverage and view overlooking Lac Leamy.
The second building will be a 15-storey 690,000-square-foot office tower, overlooking Promenade du Portage Street in the heart of downtown Gatineau, adjacent to the PWGSC’s existing premises. With architecture combining the heritage features and high-tech efficiency, its design will allow the building to optimize the usage of space while restoring and improving a significant element of the city’s urban fabric, at the same time incorporating PWGSC’s existing facilities.
This represents the tenth time that Broccolini will have delivered a LEED certified project to the marketplace.
“We have major experience in a wide range of projects from office buildings and manufacturing facilities to big box stores and industrial projects,” says Anthony Broccolini, Managing Director at Broccolini. “Our team is enthusiastic and welcomes the challenges of delivering these exciting and demanding projects on time and on budget.”
