One Thorndale Drive is a building of unique fortitude, designed by Marquis and Stoller with the goal of timeless durability represented by structurally overbuilt hand-hammered, textured concrete and steel construction.
The incredible quality of construction craftsmanship and materials used in the completion of the building are all but financially prohibitive with today’s construction costs. Estimates to recreate this structure today come to over $82M in hard cost. From the 20,000 cubic yards of concrete to the seventy-nine miles of stainless steel post tension cable and an incredible location, this building will be a landmark for the lifetime of any organization.
Due to Thorndale’s superior construction, there’s a .2% chance of a partial loss due to earthquake or fire over the next 500 years according to Brown and Riding…Accordingly, the chances of a total loss over the next several centuries is de minimis.
