The NorthWoods Phase 1 project is comprised of 6 Industrial/Flex buildings totaling 364,829 GSF on a 340-acre master planned development site in Sterling. Virginia. The use of tilt-up concrete panels was selected for the construction of these buildings as a cost-effective alternative that would provide the greatest flexibility for prospective tenants. A contemporary design scheme evolved that incorporates protruding feature panels at each suite entrance resulting in a distinctive identity for each tenant. While preserving the intrinsic nature of working with tilt-up concrete panel construction, meticulous consideration was given to the placement of reveals and aluminum accent features that subtly enhance the refined feel of the building facades. Two of the six buildings are designated flex space with the balance being industrial. The clear height of the flex is 18ft with the industrial space having a clear height of 24ft, with typical column bay spacing of 40ft by 40ft. The leasable area of these buildings varies from 43,000 GSF to 73,000 GSF, with building depths varying from 100ft to 160ft, minimizing any restrictions on tenant operations, while maximizing the efficiency of construction costs. Each building has numerous dedicated loading docks with concrete aprons, as well as multiple drive-in ramps. Great care was taken to allow for ample parking, while preserving sufficient space for operations in the truck loading courts, with an emphasis on safety and functionality.
