Building a freestanding storage facility for housing the Nemours estate’s antique furniture, artwork, textiles and film required challenging coordination working with many stakeholders on a complex building envelope.
The $37.5-million project involved building a four-story, 125,000-sq-ft building with an underground garage, 85 assisted living and memory care units and space to house the laundry facility, a commercial kitchen and space for senior activities and programs.
Completed on time and on budget in December, the project involved the full renovation and restoration of the Bird House, one of the signature exhibits of the National Zoo.
With completion of Amazon’s second headquarters in April, the Metropolitan Park project team delivered 2.1 million sq ft of space in 39 months, at budget and on schedule.
