NORTEL
Wethersfield

Project Type: Construction Manager


Contract Amount: $7,000,000
Completion Date: 3/1/1996

In mid 1998, O,R&L Construction began an extensive rehabilitation to 1290 Silas Deane Highway in Wethersfield, Connecticut. The rehab encompassed over 88,000 square feet of interior and exterior renovation and included tenant fit-outs for Nortel, Healthsouth Home Health and Phoenix Life. Because of the multiple needs of the project, tenants and landlord, precise communication between all parties was essential. For this reason, multiple architects were brought in to work with O,R&L, to qualify the needs of the owner and tenants, and address the construction specifications as they arose. Flexibility became the operative word on this project as O,R&L staff managed the challenges of bringing an older building of substantial size, up to current code. Included in the rehab was extensive exterior facade work, interior electrical and mechanical upgrades, installation of a new ‘curtain wall’ system and extensive interior structural changes. This $7,000,000 project achieved full completion including tenant occupancy in less than 14 months .
