Jones Lang LaSalle’s construction team was led by Project Executive Steven Wassersug. Other team leadership included: Senior Construction Manager William DePippo, Estimator Karl Ginand, and Superintendents Kevin White, James Mitchell and Jeff Baldwin. Winter Street Architects served as architect and RDK Engineers as engineer. Jones Lang LaSalle Senior Vice President Daniel Cordeau represented GSI during their lease negotiations at the property.

Construction included improvement of 90,000 square feet of manufacturing, warehouse, testing and assembly areas and 60,000 square feet of office space. Key features of the new facility include: integration of a state of the art testing area; light assembly areas; and Class 100,000 clean room environments. Other improvements feature: new infrastructure services (MEP) and HVAC, cafeteria and kitchen, data center, restrooms, interior finishes, exterior upgrades, and three new building entrances. The project was completed in a period of five months and delivered one month ahead of schedule.

According to DePippo, “GSI is a highly energized client and passionate about their new facility. We successfully delivered a state of the art facility in a period of time that was compliant with their corporate challenging timeline for the move. We wouldn’t have been able to deliver the facility four weeks ahead of schedule without the outstanding collaboration of the architect, engineer, client and our entire construction team.”

Jones Lang LaSalle’s construction team is manages over $190 in project volume annually. Their work ranges from interior buildouts to mixed-use developments with specialties in office, laboratory, manufacturing and distribution facility, renovation, R&D facility and retail projects.
