Arora is very excited to announce that we have made the\u00a02020 ENR Top 500 Design Firms<\/a> list for the second consecutive year, moving up from #482 in 2019 to #459 in 2020! The annual Top 500 Design Firms list ranks the largest publicly and privately held US architecture and engineering firms, based on the \u201cdesign-specific revenue\u201d of a firm and its subsidiaries.<\/p>\n

The full rankings were published in the latest issue of Engineering News Record (ENR)<\/a>, along with highlights from a number of exciting projects from the top designers, including a 600,000 square foot, $450-million office building on the South Boston waterfront. Arora, working with Commercial Construction Consulting, Inc.(C3)<\/a>, was selected to provide mechanical, electrical, plumbing, fire protection, fire alarm, and special systems engineering and construction phase services for this project. The new, 18-story Class A office building is located on a land lease of the Massachusetts Port Authority’s<\/a> (Massport) Parcel A2 in the burgeoning Seaport District of Boston.<\/p>\n

As part of developer Boston Global Investors\u2019 (BGI)<\/a> design team, Arora worked closely with the other design team members including the architect, Sasaki<\/a>, and the project\u2019s structural engineers, Thornton Tomasetti<\/a>. The building\u2019s unique lot provides and will retain public sightlines to all four sides of the building. Given this, BGI and Massport sought to build a signature building that complemented the buildings around it, but at the same time stood out. The design of the building met this challenge by implementing large arches, curved facades, multi-level outdoor plazas and open space, and a building floor plate that expands as the building ascends.<\/p>\n

The project consists of three main components:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. An office building located on the main portion of the site, which will be approximately 600,000 square feet with an open lobby, retail and event space at the first two levels, a co-working\/performance space at the third level, and tenanted office space on the remaining floors.<\/li>\n
  2. A community and innovation space on the Triangle Parcel, consisting of approximately 15,000 square feet of flexible space for community meetings, education, training, incubators, and public performance space.<\/li>\n
  3. The landscape and public realm of the entire site.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Arora is very proud to be ranked among such a prestigious list of architects and engineers, and to be included in this very exciting, innovative project.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
