by AF 0602 i5 — June 5, 2009—Veolia Energy North America has been signed on for a long-term agreement to provide sustainable heating and cooling services to the new Four Seasons Hotel and Legg Mason Tower in Baltimore.
Designed by California’s Hill Glazier Architects and developed by H&S Properties Development Corp., the two newly constructed high-rise skyscrapers are located in Baltimore’s Harbor East between the Marriott Waterfront Hotel and the Spinnaker Bay residential building. The Legg Mason Tower is scheduled to open in mid-2009, and the Four Seasons Hotel will open in late 2010.
As part of its 20+ year agreement with H&S Properties Development Corp., Veolia Energy will provide hot water for heating and domestic hot water production to the two buildings. In addition, chilled water will be used to cool hotel room and common areas, along with entertainment, commercial office and retail space.
With 256 rooms, the Four Seasons Hotel Baltimore will occupy one 370,000-square-foot tower. Legg Mason, based in Baltimore, will move its headquarters to the new 660,000-square-foot tower adjacent to the Four Seasons. Both buildings will sit atop a 1,200-space, underground parking garage. Use of Veolia Energy’s district energy system also eliminates the need for total dependency on boilers, freeing up valuable space and lessening in-house maintenance requirements.
