As both tenants plan to remain in the building for a long time, the materials selected and long-term lifecycle costs were a key concern. Precast concrete quickly became an obvious choice not only for its durability but also because it offered a cost-effective and energy-efficient solution.

The precaster, Enterprise Precast, used a custom Italian-style formliner from Architectural Polymers to create the light white, acid-etched concrete facade. The liner was used with 6" panels and features an intricate infill pattern.
