Cresa completes Flexpoint Ford’s new offices at One Vanderbilt; designed by SPECTOR Cos.

Manhattan, NY Cresa’s New York project management services team, led by James Pirot and Ronald Zeccardi, has completed Flexpoint Ford’s new offices at One Vanderbilt. The 30,000 s/f space, located on the 61st floor of the Grand Central District tower, includes multiple smart building technology features designed by wtec, such as energy efficient lighting systems and indoor air quality temperature controls that optimize users’ overall workplace experience while providing greater sustainability compliance.

With interiors designed by New York and Miami-based architect SPECTOR Companies, the open floor plan format is supported by technology platforms offering functionality capable of reducing energy usage as much as 70%. Moreover, traditional thermostats have been replaced with wtec smart sensors, which integrate with the building’s temperature data to provide greater interior HVAC control.

“We worked with a great group who delivered a holistic space in an aesthetically elevated setting that is truly energy efficient,” said Pirot. “This is a game-changing office environment that is supported by Cresa’s Smart Building Solutions initiative in partnership with the smartengine|wtec platform.”

Clune Construction served as the project’s general contractor.
