Washington Station will bring 126,000 square feet of Class A office space to one of the last remaining undeveloped parcels within Syracuse's Armory Square district. The six story, multi-tenanted office building is located at 333 West Washington Street at the intersection of Washington and Franklin Streets. The project is being guided, rated and will be certified by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC). Its advanced engineering and energy management technologies will result in the use of far less energy and water than comparable buildings.

The project, which will become the new corporate headquarters for Pioneer, has been heralded by NYS Governor David Paterson as "providing the missing component of a larger comprehensive revitalization plan for downtown Syracuse." The project broke ground in June, 2009 and occupancy is planned for September, 2010.

The building will have a structural steel frame with poured concrete floors. Exterior walls will be light gauge metal. Building exterior finishes will incorporate a combination of metal and terracotta panels and a glass curtain wall. Approximately 45 on-grade outdoor spaces are planned and 1,200 additional spaces are immediately adjacent in the Washington Street Garage.

Washington Station provides the ultimate in comfort, flexibility and energy efficiency by incorporating superior insulation, energy sub-metering within tenant spaces, energy costs paid by tenants to encourage conservation, reduced indoor water consumption, and a state of the art closed loop HVAC and energy management system. Surface water management is maximized through one of the region's first "green" roofs.

Interior finishes will include low/no VOC interior paint, adhesives or solvents, high recycled content or salvaged interior finishes (i.e., glass), exposed concrete floors, high-performance window glazing, salvaged reusable building materials (i.e. the existing paving), use of locally sourced materials and use of rapidly renewable materials.

Nearby amenities include dozens of retail shops and restaurants, a grocery store, public transit, car share vehicles, bike racks and a creek walk.
