Challenge
Transforming the building into a single-tenant facility required rethinking how security, access, and user experience could coexist within the existing lobby. The introduction of a secure perimeter brought added complexity, particularly as it required modifications to existing lease terms and coordination with the landlord. Vertical circulation upgrades, including a new hydraulic elevator, demanded detailed study and integration within the existing structure. All work needed to be executed while maintaining continuous access for occupants and visitors.
Solution
We led due diligence and lease negotiations to establish a clear path for implementing the secure perimeter. Our team coordinated closely with design and construction partners to integrate new access controls, vertical circulation, and lobby programming. The redesigned space introduced new amenities, including a café, market, and alternative work areas, while maximizing existing volume through a new mezzanine. Careful sequencing and coordination enabled construction to proceed within an active building without disrupting operations.
Outcome & Impact
The redevelopment delivers a secure and reimagined entry experience that aligns with client standards while enhancing daily use. New amenity spaces and branded environments contribute to a more engaging and functional lobby. Improvements to circulation and access create a clear and efficient transition between public and secure areas. Amazon received a tailored solution that balances security, usability, and workplace experience within an active building.
