Smith-Midland Corp. part of project team for Dulles Station
Smith-Midland Corporation is involved in the construction of the NAIOP Award Winning Dulles Station Office Building. Phase I of the Dulles Station Office Building West was recently awarded the National Association of Industrial and Office Properties (NAIOP) 2007 Award of Excellence in the Best Building Category for Mid-Rise (4-7 stories). NAIOP awards recognize significant new contributions to Northern Virginia by the commercial and industrial real estate community at a black-tie gala held in November 2007.
The Dulles Station Office Building project includes 41,480 s/f of traditional architectural precast panels. Finished in spring of 2007, the contract's valued at $1.095 million.
The Dulles Station suburban office building rests on a high profile location on the Dulles Toll Rd. The six-story building features a combination sandblast finish and dark panel featuring two different concrete mixes in each panel. Along the two different finishes, the main portion of the panel (the white portion) has the medium sandblast finish and the dark gray accents add an exposed aggregate finish to expose the dark gray stone.
Smith-Midland was honored to be a part of the construction team that also included owner/developers, Trammel Crow and Washington Real Estate Investment Trust; architect, Cooper Carey, and general construction, H.H. Constructors.
