We served as an extension of EMC's real estate and facilities team, helping align project objectives, lease negotiations, budget expectations, and delivery strategies as the company continued its rapid expansion within 505 First Avenue South. Our advisory role included evaluating landlord proposals, refining development assumptions, supporting decision-making, and ensuring each expansion phase aligned with EMC's operational and growth objectives.

We provided comprehensive project management services for EMC's headquarters expansion, including budget and schedule development, consultant and contractor procurement, design and construction management, permitting coordination, contract negotiations, cost control, and stakeholder management. Building on our familiarity with both EMC and the building, we coordinated owners, landlords, consultants, contractors, and vendors to deliver the expansion while maintaining alignment with schedule, budget, and business requirements.

We planned and coordinated the seamless integration of the new expansion space into EMC's existing operations, ensuring consistency in workplace standards, technology requirements, furniture systems, and employee experience. Our approach minimized disruption to ongoing business operations while supporting continued growth within the headquarters campus.

We proactively managed risks related to budget, schedule, permitting, landlord coordination, and operational continuity throughout the expansion. Through detailed planning, continuous monitoring, and early issue resolution, we helped maintain project momentum while protecting EMC's business operations and long-term real estate objectives.

We coordinated closely with the design, construction, and landlord teams to ensure building systems supported EMC's evolving workplace and technology requirements. Our oversight helped integrate MEP infrastructure, data center needs, high-density employee spaces, and future expansion requirements into a cohesive and scalable workplace environment.
