NEWINGTON, NH - Farley White Interests broke ground in October 2019 on 90 Arboretum Drive – the first office building in New England to be built using Mass Timber construction. The building was designed by SGA Architects and will provide 72,000 square feet of Class A office space at Pease International Tradeport in Newington, NH.
Sustainability and environmental impact are at the top of mind for many decision-makers across industries today. When Farley White was considering the construction of this building, Mass Timber was the clear construction method of choice by not only being a differentiator in a sustainability-driven market but also environmentally responsible. Mass Timber refers to a load-bearing system where wood is used as the primary structure as opposed to concrete and steel. According to Nordic Structures (the construction manufacturer for the project), wood production emits ~30% less carbon dioxide (CO2) than concrete or steel. And, once the CO2 sequestered in its fiber is counted, wood is actually carbon negative. Farley White has also prioritized energy efficiency through their HVAC selections – the building will utilize an energy recovery makeup air unit which, depending upon the season, recovers the heat or coolness of the exhaust air and applies it to the fresh air makeup. Additionally, all heating and cooling is accomplished by Daikin Variable Refrigerant Volume equipment, which moves heat or coolness within the building to where it is needed, thereby reducing overall energy consumption.
Tenants at 90 Arboretum Drive will enjoy the opportunity to work in the first Mass Timber office building in New England, providing a beautiful aesthetic and abundant natural light alongside energy efficiency, while located only 10 minutes from downtown Portsmouth. The location provides quick access to I-95, Boston, MA, Manchester, NH, and Portland, ME and boasts amenities including nearby running trails, Pease International Airport and the 27-hole Pease Golf Course. This development is being represented and marketed by Cushman & Wakefield. Construction is to be completed by Summer 2020.
