While working as the Senior Designer for this project teamed with a great Project Manager at a great firm in Northeastern Ohio, our firm was hired by @PremierDevelopment to design this 177,000 sf, five-story building that dwarfed existing twin headquarters buildings on @SiteCenters campus.  Upon completion of sketches, 2D Autocad drawings, and 3D renderings, a team of colleagues produced the construction documents.  This award-winning corporate headquarters design included the following features:

• Underground Structured Parking on 3 sides of the building’s lowest level
• Wellness Center & Locker Rooms
• Auditorium with A/V Room and a Large Prefunction Space
• Pedestrian Bridge
• ­Café with seating for 100
• Commercial Kitchen
• Large Executive Boardroom

Interestingly, my 32-year career included 6 1/2 years working as a Manager of Architectural Services at DDR Corp (now @SiteCenters) which is a multibillion-dollar development company (REIT) that owned & managed approximately 450 commercial/retail properties throughout the U.S. & Puerto Rico at that time.
