Boston — March 15, 2016 — Hobbs Brook Management LLC, a commercial property management and development firm specializing in the leasing, construction, and development of Class A office space, announced that its repositioned and renovated office building at 610 Lincoln Street North in Waltham, Mass. has been certified LEED Gold by the United States Green Building Council (USGBC).
Designed by Margulies Perruzzi Architects (MPA) and located within the Hobbs Brook Office Park, 610 Lincoln Street North features flexible floor plans, on-site dining, multiple amenities, and access to the Forefront Conference Center.
Designed for single- or multi-tenant occupancy, the completely renovated building features 86,169 square feet of highly efficient office space on three floors, and comes with a 3.7 parking ratio and front-desk security.
To open the lobby to more natural light, MPA redesigned the main entrance with a new two-story glass vestibule.
An additional 6,000 square feet of office space was gained by lowering the building grade and moving mechanical equipment to the roof. The sustainable upgrade of 610 Lincoln Street North includes new HVAC systems, windows, electrical systems, and fireproofing.
Hobbs Brook Management’s devotion to sustainability is evident through project aspects that include an integrated green cleaning program, mature landscaping, high-reflection roofing, preferred parking for hybrid vehicles, and shower facilities for bicycle commuters.
The project featured a 36 percent water-use reduction and a 29 percent optimized energy performance during the design, engineering, and construction phases, with the intention of reducing energy costs to future tenants.
The project team also includes general contractor Columbia Construction Co.; landscape architect Studio 2112; MEP engineer AHA Consulting Engineers; structural engineer Souza True & Partners; civil engineer H.W. Moore Associates; and LEED consultant Entegra.
Hobbs Brook Management is represented by Wyman Street Advisors.
