Projects | Office Buildings

Office building and corporate campus construction is a constant activity. From offices and research labs to high end class ‘A’ company headquarters, we look after design conception, programming requirements and even interior decorating and finish selections. Recently, Reliance’s newly constructed office buildings have been LEED certified as clients become more willing to marginally increase hard construction costs in order to generate a benefit to the environment while lowering operating costs.

Working with developers, REIT’s, pension funds or intended occupants, we build some six to ten office facilities every year, each representing between 35,000 and 600,000 square feet of interior space and contract values between $4,000,000.00 and $200,000,000.

Over the course of 7 consecutive years, Reliance formed an integral part of the project team acting as General Contractor for Ericsson’s North American Research and Development Center. Once completed, Reliance had built over 550,000 square feet of new construction, consisting of 4 buildings and had completely renovated 250,000 square feet of existing space. Each building included separate underground parking linked by underground tunnels. All office areas were constructed to Class ‘A’ specifications and included details such an open atrium, a cafeteria with a full commercial kitchen and recreational facilities. All phases of the project were executed on a fast track basis.
