Mill Plain Road an 89,700 square foot building located in
Danbury, CT, was recently honored with the Best Renovated
Building of the Year award by Southern Connecticut Chapter
of the Building Owner & Managers Association (BOMA).
 The
award is based on the building being at least 15-years-old and
having maintained occupancy during a renovation process. Some of
the renovations at 100 Mill Plain included an overhaul of the building’s
lobby consisting of new glass artwork frame panels, captivated
news monitor, lobby seating and a tenant directory. In an effort
to contribute to the Ashforth’s energy reduction plan to
reduce consumption 30% by 2012 for its entire real estate portfolio,
the 100 Mill Plain Road property adopted a new energy efficiency
program through CL&P that includes new efficient light bulbs
and an 80-ton McQuay roof top chiller. The renovation project also
included HVAC improvements consisting of new heating coils on all
three of the building’s 80-ton chillers and a new chemical
treatment and filtration system for the cooling tower. Since Albert B. Ashforth was awarded the management responsibilities in early August, 2007, renovation and capital improvement projects have been on-going. “Several existing tenants have displayed their satisfaction with the improvements by renewing their leases, confirming our dedication and commitment to continuously improve the properties we manage,” said Robert Hartt, executive vice president of Albert B. Ashforth, Inc. – Management Services. |
