New Haven, CT – KBE Building Corp. celebrated the grand opening of Jordan’s Furniture in New Haven in December. KBE served as construction manager for the $17 million renovation, which began construction in April. Access Construction is the owner’s representative.
Located at 40 Sargent Drive in New Haven, Jordan’s Furniture proved to be a unique project as it features the “world’s largest ropes course,” designed by Ropes Courses, Inc. — just one way Jordan’s Furniture attends to its entertainment package feature.
In addition to this extravagant ropes course, KBE Building Corp., with the help of Waltzing Waters, supported the design and construction of a Las Vegas-style fountain equipped with lasers and a light show.
The 193,000sf project, designed by architect BL Companies, encompasses renovation of existing building (two stories and mezzanines); new entrance feature, signage feature, and canopy; new exterior doors and interior partitions; new single-story detached pump house totaling approximately 514sf; roof patching; and exterior sitework including demolition of pavement, sidewalks and tree removal, utility coordination, new paving, plantings, concrete and brick paving, storm and sanitary drainage including infiltration system, and offsite water line.
KBE previously built Jordan’s Natick, Mass. store, which features an IMAX theater along with the high-end furniture showrooms.
