Boston – Roundhill Construction has completed the build-out of 48.272 square feet of office space at 101 Summer St. in Boston on behalf of property owner Synergy Investment & Development.
Roundhill Construction conducted several separate fit-out projects over eight months at 101 Summer St., which was acquired by Synergy in 2010. Also known as the Church Green building, 101 Summer St. is a 50,673-square-foot office building located at the intersection of Summer, Devonshire and Bedford streets. Built in 1873, the historic property features modern office facilities on five floors and is a signature property in Synergy’s portfolio.
The largest of the projects involved the build-out of 20,000 square feet of space on the second and third floors of 101 Summer St. for law firm Murphy & Riley. Roundhill Construction and Boston-based architect NELSON reconfigured the firm’s offices and built new conference, break and IT rooms, as well as new file space. The fast-track project was completed in just three weeks.
“I want to take this opportunity to commend the Roundhill team for its work on the Murphy & Riley tenant fit-out,” Synergy Investment & Development Director James Grady said of Roundhill Construction’s work on the Murphy & Riley build-out. “As a result of Roundhill’s tireless efforts and attention to every detail, all of its employees and contractors represented Roundhill extremely well and exemplified client service. We look forward to working again with the Roundhill team in the near future.”
Roundhill Construction also conducted a 12,000-square-foot fit-out for Randall & Quilter Investment Holdings, which specializes in non-life insurance investments and services. Roundhill created new conference, IT and break rooms in the fifth-floor space, as well a new mail room.
On the first floor of 101 Summer St., Roundhill conducted a complete demolition from floor to ceiling while rebuilding two bathrooms and a storage room for tenant Weight Watchers.
“It isn’t often that a contractor delivers what they said they would (and then some) not just on time, but early! The team at Roundhill went above and beyond for us,” said Weight Watchers Territory Manager Elaine McCauley Meehan. “My staff and I appreciate how attentive Roundhill was to any questions or concerns we had during construction and since completion. The customer service has been exemplarary.”
In the building’s basement, Roundhill renovated 2,000 square feet of hallway and fitness center space, including installation of keycard-access doorways. The enlarged fitness center now features a mirrored glass wall, painted accents and rubber flooring.
“Our work with Synergy at 101 Summer St. involved numerous tenants, building common space, infrastructure and everything in between,” said Ted Fish, president of Roundhill Construction. “The relationship we’ve established with Synergy has been extremely beneficial to both parties and is one we hope to continue long into the foreseeable future.”
