LG North American Headquarters
Englewood Cliffs, NJ
Structural engineering services for a new 350,000 sf class-A office building with 15,000 sf data center, auditorium for 400 employees, full cafeteria, fitness facility and 1,500 parking spaces. The new $300 million North American headquarters enables LG to consolidate up to 1,200 people from six divisions across New Jersey into one location. The LEED-Platinum certified development is the newest state-of-the-art office facility in the tristate area, and the campus has become a post-COVID-19 model for companies looking for flexible office space outside of major urban centers.
Rejecting the deep floor plates common to suburban office buildings, the competition-winning design offered slimmer proportions, with two narrow ‘wings’ linked by a public atrium, and a landscape inclusive of outdoor amenities and significant areas of ecological restoration. LG solar panels cover 60,000 sf and generate 30% of the electricity used on the site.
