The project, which is expected to achieve LEED Silver certification, includes a 300,000sf roof solar array and employs hydrogen fuel cell technology for the material handling equipment through onsite hydrogen generation. The warehouse utilized a ductilcrete slab-on-grade system, which allows a reduced slab thickness and expanded control joints out to the column bay.

The new headquarters is located in Taunton, halfway between Boston and Providence, Rhode Island. This unique location provides excellent access to both metropolitan areas, and ample freeway access for distribution around New England. The site’s many amenities include two new mass transit authority bus stops, a large outdoor employee patio with ample seating, and bike racks. A walking path is also accessible from the east entrance that stretches throughout the 118-acre site, which is available to employees for outdoor recreation.
Multiple sales teams have dedicated training rooms and conference areas for onsite training and collaboration. The interior design also includes a large café with honor system catering and lounge seating with wireless internet.
“This project combines a collaborative office environment with a state-of-the-art distribution warehouse in a stunning new environment ideally situated for Martignetti’s operations,” said Cameron Trefry, Regional Director of Ware Malcomb’s Chicago office. “The many innovations incorporated throughout the space, including a number of sustainable features, ensure this facility will meet the needs of Martignetti Companies for many years to come.”
Managed out of Ware Malcomb’s Chicago office, alongside the firm’s Boston-based staff members the project will be featured at the I.CON Industrial Real Estate 2017 conference to be held March 8-9, 2017 in Toronto by the NAIOP Commercial Real Estate Development Association.
