9 Channel Center Street
Boston – Corderman & Company, a Boston-based construction management firm, announced that it has moved its office to a new location at 9 Channel Center Street, South Boston.
The company will occupy the entire fourth floor, approximately 10,000sf of office space, in the restored seven-story 77,000sf historic building,
Last year, Berkeley Investments Inc. restored the building under its adaptive reuse campaign.
In collaboration with Visnick & Caulfield Associates, a Boston-based architectural firm, Corderman took great care in preserving the building’s brick-and-beam architecture, in addition to maintaining the integrity and history of the original industrial space throughout all phases of design and construction.
The structural design of the Corderman office recalls the turn-of-the-century industrial era, welcoming original, distressed wooden columns and beams, exposed brick walls, antique steel, and 10,000sf of hardwood flooring. Each of the individual offices highlights all glass fronts and doors, introducing an element of openness.
The centerpiece of the space is a dramatic conference room surrounded by four pairs of French doors, which are further supported by the original steel fire doors salvaged from the building’s early history. While considered a conference area, the room exhibits a beautiful 19th century chandelier, imported from France by Bridge Antiques in Beacon Hill, a restored farmhouse table, and elegant high-back fabric chairs to promote a welcoming, comfortable environment for both employee and client collaboration.
