The North Block segment of the 7-acre development comprises\u00a0two 12-story trophy office towers encompassing an aggregate 960,000 square feet of Class A space, and premier ground-level retail totaling 70,000 square feet. The first building will be erected with the address of 200 Massachusetts Ave., NW., and will offer 410,000 square feet of office space and 25,000 square feet of retail.<\/p>\n<p>The North Block buildings will be state-of-the-art\u2014and they\u2019ll be about as green as a building can be. With a powerhouse architectural trifecta at the helm\u2014Skidmore Owings and Merrill, Kevin Roche John Dinkeloo and Associates and Kohn Pedersen Fox\u2014the entire Capitol Crossing project has been designed to exceed the requirements for LEED Platinum certification, and if successful, the property will hold the title of the first Eco-District in Washington, D.C.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cProperty Group Partners has a strong belief in reimagining cityscapes and revitalizing neighborhoods through sustainable building and innovative engineering,\u201d Leon Blondin, president of Balfour Beatty\u2019s Mid-Atlantic division, said in a prepared statement. Plans for EcoChimneys, green roofs, 440 bicycle spaces and designated parking for fuel-efficient cars should help do the trick. Balfour Beatty will do its part, relying on cutting-edge technologies and lean construction methods to keep it green.<\/p>\n<p>Balfour Beatty already knows its way around Capitol Crossing. The company spearheaded the property\u2019s preconstruction, utility relocation and platform construction on behalf of PGP.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The general contracting firm was awarded a $196 million contract to build the North Block phase of the $1.3 billion project.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":969,"featured_media":1004150978,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[21782,21808,11,21752,21742,21786,1615],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1004150977","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-development","category-featured","category-midatlantic","category-mixed-use","category-latest","category-sustainability","category-washington-dc"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v23.4 (Yoast SEO v24.6) -
