The development of Washington Station has brought 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 has being guided, rated and certified by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC). Its advanced engineering and energy management technologies have resulted in the use of far less energy and water than comparable buildings.
The project, which is the new corporate headquarters for Pioneer, has been heralded as "providing the missing component of a larger comprehensive revitalization plan for downtown Syracuse." The project broke ground in June, 2009 and occupancy opened on schedule in September, 2010.
The building has a structural steel frame with poured concrete floors. Building exterior finishes incorporate a combination of metal and terracotta panels and a glass curtain wall. Approximately 45 on-grade outdoor spaces are available 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 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, public transit, car share vehicles, bike racks and a creek walk.
