NEW YORK CITY—Ware Malcomb, an award-winning international design firm, recently announced construction is complete on Princeton Longevity Center, a preventive medicine facility located at 1 World Trade Center. Ware Malcomb provided the interior architecture and design services for the project.

The 10,000-square-foot facility is a new build-out that includes a 2,000-square foot-imaging-diagnostic licensing suite, including advanced technology imaging rooms and a CT scan room. The space also includes a reception area, a lounge, individual patient rooms, exam rooms, offices, and a fitness room. The design is hospitality-focused and mirrors the aesthetic established at their Princeton, New Jersey location.

“Princeton Longevity Center is extremely patient-centric in all of their decisions,” said Marlyn Zucosky, Regional Director, Interior Architecture & Design for Ware Malcomb. “We were pleased to work closely with them to design a facility to enhance their patients’ experience and wellness. The result is a highly-functional, relaxing and beautiful space in one of the world’s highest-profile buildings.”

At the entrance to the suite, a virtual receptionist assists guests with check-in. The inviting lounge offers spectacular views from the 71st floor of the 1 World Trade Center and incorporates wood-look luxury vinyl tile flooring, as well as a curved reception desk with backlit features. A custom hand-woven rug, a unique light fixture and a custom millwork coffee bar add a hospitality vibe to the spacious waiting area.

Individual patient rooms provide guests with a private space while they spend the day at Princeton Longevity Center and include computers, showers and a relaxing lounge atmosphere. The exam rooms and doctor offices, which also provide views of the city, incorporate calming colors. The rich tones of the design color palette are a dramatic contrast to the natural light provided by floor-to-ceiling windows.

The general contractor was Icon Interiors, Inc. The project achieved LEED Gold certification, a requirement of all 1 World Trade Center tenants. This is Ware Malcomb’s second project for Princeton Longevity Center; the first was their Princeton, NJ location, completed four years ago. Princeton Longevity Center is a leader in the preventive medicine market, offering the most advanced technology services and serving C-suite clientele with comprehensive medical evaluations.

RIVERSIDE, Calif. — Pacific Medical Buildings (PMB) in San Diego and the Jacobs Development Company in Riverside are three months into the construction of the new Riverside Medical Center. Once complete, the building will be occupied by RadNet, the leading national provider of freestanding, fixed-site diagnostic imaging services in the U.S., currently headquartered in Los Angeles. Construction is slated to be complete by the end of 2017.

The two-story, 27,000-square-foot medical office building has a budget of $12.5 million. The architect on the project is Ware Malcomb, Inc., based in Irvine, Calif. with Oltmans Construction Co. Inc., based in Whittier, Calif., serving as the general contractor. Holliday Fenoglio Fowler, L.P. (HFF) in Dallas announced in April shortly before the project scope began that it will be offering an $8.5 million construction-to-permanent financing for the soon-to-be-built medical office building in Riverside. HFF worked on behalf of PMB to secure the 12-year, fixed-rate loan.

The new building, located in the Prospect Place Historic District is in close proximity to downtown Riverside. The project site itself is situated between a Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) building and two historic Victorian homes dating back to 1891. Fourteen Victorian homes were relocated prior to the purchase of the land, which was sold to PMB and Jacobs Development by the City of Riverside. The new facility is being constructed as an effort to meet the underserved surrounding Riverside community by providing efficient and accessible health care services, and will operate as a cancer center with a linear accelerator vault, imaging center and clinical programs.

“The building will provide much needed health care services to the area,” said Ben Rosenfeld, vice president of development at PMB in a recent statement. “RadNet is a leader in value-based health care delivery, and we are proud to be their healthcare real estate development partner helping them deliver low-cost, high-quality health care services to the greater Riverside community.”
The core lobby will have a sleek modern design with linear lights and a cool color material palette, according to Jake Rohe, partner and senior vice president of development at PMB. “The building is a tilt-up construction but is primarily designed with the goal for it not to look that way,” said Rohe. “We have done this by using custom reveals, insets, a painted tilt wall and curtain wall assembly. An intricately designed exterior monument wall, visible at the entrance to the site, adds to this.”

The building design also includes a cantilever canopy and all the essential services of a class-A medical office building, according to Rohe. Additionally, the site and landscape will include surface parking with a drought tolerant landscape package, designed by Community Works Design Group in Riverside.

“This project provided a great opportunity for us to work with RadNet, the City of Riverside and other outstanding community groups and organizations to create a facility that will meet the needs of the surrounding community,” said Pietro Martinez, project manager of architecture and construction at PMB. “We are very excited to create a top-notch facility that will meet the medical needs of the surrounding community.”
