Carlsbad CA The project is a three-building, Class A office complex at El Camino Real and Salk Avenue in Carlsbad. The 225,722-square-foot project will be the largest Class A complex in coastal North County. While a number of new, small projects are under development, none has large buildings or a campus able to accommodate even 150,000 square feet, much less the almost quarter-million square feet offered by Ventana Real. The first phase began on May 8 2006 and will consist of one three-story, 81,750-square-foot building at 2173 Salk Ave., scheduled for completion in March 2007, and one two-story, 62,222-square-foot building at 2177 Salk Ave., scheduled for completion in February 2007. Nadel Architects of California designed the complex. Each building is designed with four separate entrances. Constructed of structural steel and natural sandstone with floor-to-ceiling glass and architectural aluminum, the buildings will offer state-of-the-art mechanical, electrical, plumbing and security systems. Each building will include large, flexible floor plates, high-speed elevators, locker rooms and showers.
Business Bank of Nevada
Summerlin NV A 6-story, 150,000 square foot office building located in Summerlin, Clark County, Nevada and an eSteel design-build group project that was performed in conjunction with the Whiting-Turner Contracting Company and KKE Architects. This building stands nearly 100 feet tall, the steel frame with bearing stud walls, relies on braced frames for its lateral resistance. The building is curved on two sides and contains many balconies and 3 terraces, 2 on the fifth floor and a covered one on the sixth floor. The finish is composed of tinted glass and 2 stone finishes, Split Face and Travertine. An architectural eyebrow suspends from the sixth floor and an entry canopy above the 2nd floor suspends from the 4th floor. The tall building has its very own window washing system, and traction elevator system. The building also contains an ATM canopy and money vault for its bank functions.
Paseo Nuevo
Albuquerque NM Formerly home to a City of Albuquerque landfill, this location has been reborn as the Paseo Nuevo Office Complex. This Class A, LEED-certified office complex is 106,000 square feet and promotes the new urban concept of locating the office building along the street. Uniquely utilizing its west-sloping site, the 400-car parking deck allows access to deck levels with no site space used for ramps. Other innovations include 200 ground source heat pump wells which heat and cool the building. With numerous balconies and sun shading devices sheltering the high performance glass from direct solar gain, this “green” building is accented with a light-colored roof to reduce heat island effect. The landscaping uses native drought-tolerant plants, with organic pest management. 10% of building materials were recycled, and the building will utilize “green” housekeeping concepts while educating tenants with signs explaining the LEED concept placed throughout the building. Success in leasing space in the structure is due in large part to the height and setback variances obtained before construction. The surrounding neighborhood, in which the complex is located, is buffered from the presence of this five-story space by the layout and design of the structure.

Old Albuquerque High School Gym Renovation
Albuquerque NM The school was established in 1914 and served as Albuquerque’s only high school until 1948, when other high schools were added to the growing district. The first phase of the restoration was to convert 70 leased loft apartments. The exteriors of the buildings were restored to their original look, and included the detailed restoration of the structures’ 10-foot-high original windows. Inside the two buildings, existing classrooms were converted into single loft apartments, retaining original walls, tall ceiling heights, floors, and even chalkboards. Modern kitchens and bathrooms were slipped into each space. Existing doors and hallways were also retained. The first phase was completed in 2002. Later work included converting the gymnasium into lofts and constructing new buildings on the campus to house even more lofts, plus shops, restaurants and offices.
