Sustainability-Commercial

The Sheward Partnership was commissioned by The Davis Companies to serve as the Sustainability and LEED Consultant on the major renovation and expansion project of the existing 530 and 580 East Swedesford Road commercial office buildings. The project is seeking LEED Gold certification under the LEED 2009 for Core & Shell Development Rating System. The project involves a completely new building envelope with an extensive connector addition to integrate the currently separate buildings into a single Class A corporate complex.

The Sheward Partnership was commissioned by LEO A DALY to serve as the LEED and Sustainability Consultant in the design and construction of this new 238,000 square foot core and shell commercial office building. The eight-story building will be located just one block from Union Station in downtown Washington, DC. The team has established the goal of achieving a LEED Silver rating under the LEED 2009 for Core & Shell Development Rating System. Special sustainable design considerations for this project include balancing the integration of ample natural light through the all glass building envelope with delivery of a high-performance building that will yield energy savings to future tenants; exterior landscaping designed to be both durable in an urban environment and native; and a fully equipped fitness center for all building occupants that will include underground secure bicycle storage.

The Sheward Partnership was commissioned by Manko Gold Katcher Fox to serve as the LEED and Sustainability Consultant on their new 20,000 square foot headquarters in Bala Cynwyd, Pennsylvania. MGKF chose to relocate their office suite to another floor in the same building. The project included interior glazed partitions to allow daylight to penetrate deep into interior spaces. Reclaimed hemlock lumber was locally sourced from an old building for entry signage and the lobby coffee table. The project was awarded LEED Gold certification under the LEED 2009 for Commercial Interiors Rating System. The project is separately metered, and Manko Gold Katcher Fox is saving 50% on utility costs when compared to their previous office suite in the same building.
