View Smart Windows Will Enable 10 World Trade to Become the Healthiest and Most Sustainable Building in Boston
April 05 2022 - 7:00AM
View, Inc. (NASDAQ: VIEW) (“View”), the leader in smart building
technologies, announced its Smart Windows will be installed at 10
World Trade, a 17-story, 600,000-square-foot, nearly $600 million
life science and office tower under development by Boston Global
Investors (BGI) and their partners in downtown Boston. Located in
the heart of Boston’s Seaport District, 10 World Trade was designed
to be the healthiest and most sustainable building in Boston.
The building’s swooping geometric shape, designed by the
renowned global architecture firm Sasaki, will be enclosed with
floor-to-ceiling View Smart Windows. The windows use artificial
intelligence to automatically adjust in response to the sun,
maximizing natural light and outdoor views while optimizing
building occupant comfort and reducing energy consumption from
lighting and HVAC. 10 World Trade will also feature two acres of
sustainable landscaping and a climate-proof elevated footprint.
Upon completion, it will be the first building in Boston recognized
for sustainable and resilient landscaping with a SITES
certification.
“We designed 10 World Trade to be the most aesthetically
striking and climate-resilient building in the Seaport District,”
said Victor Vizgaitis, Principal with Sasaki. “View Smart Windows
offer continuous views of Boston Harbor and help us to exceed the
energy savings standard set by the Massachusetts Department of
Energy by 40%.”
“With 10 World Trade, we set out to deliver the best overall
space in the market,” said John Hynes IV, Vice President of BGI.
“View’s mission and products help to create a truly responsive
environment that is smarter, healthier, and more sustainable — and
therefore more productive and more enjoyable.”
View Smart Windows have been shown to generate significant
health benefits for building occupants. In a recent study by
researchers at the University of Illinois and SUNY Upstate Medical
University, employees working next to View Smart Windows slept 37
minutes longer each night, experienced half as many headaches, and
performed 42% better on cognitive tests.
By eliminating the need for blinds, View Smart Windows also help
keep workspaces clean, an especially valuable benefit in life
science buildings, where sterile work environments and alert,
healthy scientists are critical to success. Blinds act as a
reservoir for dust and germs that can contaminate sensitive
materials and block shorter wavelength sunlight that disinfects
surfaces. View Smart Windows eliminate these concerns, while also
providing privacy to protect intellectual property and enabling a
wider variety of workspace configurations, including those with
workstations directly in front of the windows.
“Boston is one of the fastest-growing life science hubs in the
world — and smart, healthy, and sustainable work environments are
key to attracting and retaining top talent,” said Brian Klansky,
Vice President with View. “View continues to experience significant
traction in this rapidly growing sector, and we are thrilled to
partner with BGI to deliver the game-changing benefits of our
technology to future tenants of 10 World Trade.”
Suffolk Construction Company is serving as the general
contractor on the property’s construction. PGIM and Wheelock Street
Capital are equity partners on the project. The project’s
co-developers include EDGE, out of the Netherlands, as well as two
MBE developers: Bastion Companies and Cogsville Capital Group. JLL
is the leasing broker.
