by Shane Henson — October 10, 2012—The main lobby and courtyard of Class A office building One Rogers Street in Cambridge, Massachusetts, will soon undergo major renovations under the direction of Jones Lang LaSalle, which was recently tapped by Principal Real Estate to provide construction management services for the multimillion-dollar project.
One Rogers Street is a 252,000-square-foot premier office building that adjoins One Charles Park. According to Jones Lang LaSalle, renovations to the two-story glass atrium lobby and courtyard include: all new vinyl woven flooring, new energy-efficient light fixtures, glass walls, wood veneer column wraps, upgrades to the elevator lobby and interior elevator cabs, and a new main reception/security desk with electronic tenant directory.
The courtyard will feature the complete removal of all existing hardscape and landscaping to allow for new sidewalks, pavers and plantings; custom steel trellises; new wood and precast stone benches; new ambient lighting; and the installation of a new irrigation system. The project is scheduled for completion at the end of year.
“As long-term investors, we are good stewards of our capital, working hard to ensure our properties are up-to-date and meet the highest possible standards. We look forward to partnering with Jones Lang LaSalle in fulfilling this obligation at One Rogers Street,” said John Carrick, assistant managing director—northeast region for Principal Real Estate Investors.
