Ericsson’s North American Headquarters expansion consists of two new four-story buildings, a connector building and two parking garages. This project is an example of successful global collaboration at all levels, where the project team was challenged with balancing Ericsson’s global design program with the needs of a North American operation and market, while also managing an aggressive budget and schedule. The prominence of Ericsson’s site required thoughtful consideration with regards to potential impacts on the surrounding community. With LEED Gold certification an early goal of the Owner, a number of sustainable practices were implemented to achieve this expectation and resulted in a 25% more efficient building than the standard benchmark.

Lewis built a new 280,000 square foot office building with four levels of below-grade parking with 400 spaces. The difficult historic shoreline site included old foundations, debris from the Great Seattle Fire, and a high water table, which the team addressed with an innovative Cutter Soil Mix (CSM) shoring wall. Lewis completed the project two months ahead of schedule, while working between two historic buildings in Pioneer Square. In other Starbucks work, Lewis has built out approximately 700,000 square feet of the company’s headquarters at historic Starbucks Center.
