Cohen Brothers Realty Corporation has been presented with the Alliance for Quality Construction’s 2013 Q Award for construction of the Red Building at the Pacific Design Center.
The construction of the Red Building completes a 40 year West Hollywood landmark that includes the 1975 Blue Building and 1988 Green Building. Keeping with the design of the first two buildings, the Red Building is covered in transparent and fritted glass that is held in its aluminum frames with silicon, creating the all glass appearance of the exterior. The building was built to USGBC LEED Silver standards and includes 400,000 square feet of Class A office space.
The project was union built by Jones & Jones, and architecturally designed by Cesar Pelli, FAIA, of Pelli Clarke Pelli.
Raymond was contracted by Jones & Jones to complete the wall and ceiling framing, drywall, taping/finishing, plaster, acoustical ceilings, and insulation on the $165 million Red Building.
