Fabricated from 35 recycled shipping containers, The Box Office transformed a vacant and abandoned Brownfield site at the urban periphery into a collaborative office and incubator space targeted to small companies committed to sustainable design and development principles.
The project consists of approximately 12,000 SF of newly constructed office space at the site of the former Harris Lumber warehouse on Providence’s west side. The building uses approximately 50% less energy than a typical new construction office building (22 kBTU/SF/yr) and less than most LEED platinum buildings; energy use is further reduced by a rooftop PV solar array. The Box Office has been a magnet for small companies, and has been near capacity throughout an economic recession. The offices of D+P Real Estate have been located at The Box Office since the project was completed in 2010. |
