Inc. has just broken ground on its new 1.2-million-square-foot headquarters in Melville, N.Y. Although the digital imaging and office solutions company will move away from its current 400,000-square-foot home in Lake Success, it will maintain its nearly four-decade long presence on Long Island. The project carries a development price tag of $636 million.<\/p>\n<p>Canon, which presently maintains its North American headquarters in five leased buildings, will erect a 700,000-square-foot, five-story office structure and two parking facilities totaling 500,000 square feet on a 52-acre site just off the Long Island Expressway in the Route 110 Corridor. The company shelled out a whopping sum of approximately $100 million to acquire the land, a onetime pumpkin farm, from developer the Holiday Organization and the Tilles Companies in 2007. Designed by global architectural firm HOK, the property will qualify for LEED Gold certification. <\/p>\n<p>The new headquarters, which will serve Canon&#8217;s operations in North America and South America, will house the company&#8217;s 1,200 employees currently based in Lake Success, and will provide enough elbow room for the approximately 750 jobs that are expected to be created over several years following the project&#8217;s completion. <\/p>\n<p>Both local and state officials, eager to lure and retain both new and established technology firms and businesses in other industries, anticipate that Canon&#8217;s commitment to Melville will spur further development activity in Suffolk County&#8217;s 110 Corridor, which is home to the State University of New York at Farmingdale and serves as a leading employment hub in the area. Canon&#8217;s decision to stay put in Long Island was not a done deal in the beginning; it took a bit of courting. <\/p>\n<p>Among the organizations that pitched in to woo the company were the New York State Department of Transportation and Empire State Development, which helped sway the company with a deal that will add LIE service road lanes to diminish heavy traffic near the new headquarters locale. <\/p>\n<p>Canon&#8217;s new North American home&#8211;parent company Canon Inc.&#8217;s to other global headquarters are located in Tokyo and London&#8211;is on track to debut in 2012.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After three years of planning, Canon U.S.A.
