Hobbs Brook Management L.L.C., the real estate affiliate of FM Global, is overseeing a $60 million renovation of FM Global\u2019s former headquarters at 1301 Atwood Ave. in Johnston.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Johnston Sunrise<\/em><\/a> reports that the makeover will result in 338,600 square feet of office space, a full-service cafeteria and exercise facility. To be renamed Northwoods, the new facility is a candidate for LEED Gold certification. Construction is expected to be complete by the fall of 2014.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

The complex is located minutes from Downtown Providence and T.F. Green Airport, immediately adjacent to Route 6, and is accessible by all major interstates in Rhode Island and Massachusetts.<\/p>\n

Built in 1973, the property served as FM Global\u2019s headquarters until 2009, when the insurer moved to its $154-million, 366,600-square-foot location on Central Avenue. According to the Providence Journal<\/em><\/a>, Hobbs Brook Management owns both FM Global’s current headquarters and the previous location on Atwood Ave.<\/span><\/p>\n

Dimeo Construction Company Co. of Providence is the contractor for the renovation, which is designed by Margulies Perruzzi Architects. Hayes & Sherry, a Cushman & Wakefield Alliance member, will handle leasing.<\/p>\n
