AWARD-WINNING PROJECTS

Project Name: Merritt I-66 Business Park Project Location: 7425 Merritt Park Drive, Manassas, VA Summary: Merritt I-66 Business Park is located 32 miles west of Washington, D.C. in PrinceWilliam County. Merritt Properties acquired the 46-acre complex in 2015. Once developed, I-66 Business Park will total 596,900 square feet among six properties. Merritt Construction Services is currently building a 97,200-square-foot and a 137,350-square-foot warehouse, with 24-foot and 32-foot clear heights, respectively. Both properties feature 50 to 60-foot truck courts, dock and drive-in loading, and free surface parking. Delivery is expected to occur in December 2019. Construction on the first three buildings at the park completed in January 2019. This project was designed to fill a void in the market, target bigger bulk storage users, provide flexibility for future customers, and offer extra storage for tenants requiring a smaller footprint. The award-winning Building 6 site contained a large area of dense rock and the adjacent property’s elevation was 30’ higher. Merritt’s team used 8-10 drills over a three- month period to work through the rock. 540,000 pounds of explosives were used to blast and crush the rock, and three rock-crushing machines were mobilized and set up to generate rock of various sizes. The crushed rock turned into 285,310 cubic yards of useable stone. Of that, 62,920 cubic yards were used to level and raise the site by 12 inches, which saved the company $1.2 million in haul-off and haul-in costs. The remaining 222,390 cubic yards were used to construct access roads, paving areas, a retaining wall and utility trenches. Due to the location and height of the adjacent property, a retaining wall was required. This retaining wall required 4,960 tons of rock. The team also installed 50’ bays to attract large users who needed convenient dock and drive-in capabilities. As a result, the site can accommodate parking for up to 30 trucks. Semi-reflective and smooth surfaces were designed throughout to provide a state-of-the-art, clean and industrial aesthetic. Finishes include brushed aluminum/ metal trim, 7’ high interior glass partitions, exposed natural polished concrete/stone flooring, and engineered wood flooring. A neutral, warm gray mono-chromatic color palette complements the minimalist design.

AWARD-WINNING PROJECTS continued

Project Name: Beltway Business Park Project Location: 1705 Twin Springs Road, Baltimore, MD Summary: In 2017, Deli Brands of America (DBA), the processing subsidiary of Saval Foods Corporation, was in the market for a new slicing and logistics facility in the Baltimore region to support the operation that produces deli meats and family recipe entrées. Merritt was selected to build-out their new 22,000 SF location at 1705 Twin Springs Road in southern Baltimore County. DBAwanted their third facility in Maryland to include warehouse space for processing, packaging, shipping and storage, in addition to office space and the opportunity to expand product offerings and increase their workforce. As the lead tenant within a new 42,000-square-foot, single- story building, DBA customized their space so 19,978 SF supported processing and warehouse requirements. This included a 1,555 SF packaging room, a 2,875 SF slicing room, 2,460 SF of refrigerated loading dock space and 3,667 SF of refrigerated storage space. This refrigerated area has two freezers—a small 988-square-foot freezer and a larger 4,244-square-foot freezer. The large, 4,244-square- foot freezer required an underslab heating system, which Merritt had to install by cutting through the preexisting slab. The remaining 2,022 SF was dedicated to a front office, restrooms and locker rooms, a break room, two private offices and a conference room. Merritt accommodated DBA’s need for additional storage by adjusting the overall ceiling height from an initial 18’ clear design to a 24’ clear. A special epoxy floor coating and floor-trench drains were installed in the slicing and packaging rooms to allow for easy cleaning. High-speed shutter doors were used throughout the build-out for sanitation purposes and to keep temperatures within each area stable. In addition, specialized cooling units were installed on the roof to accommodate the refrigeration and freezer spaces. As the project was nearing completion, DBA signed on for an additional 3,000 SF in a neighboring bay, so Merritt worked quickly to connect the adjacent shell space and install a dock leveler, ceiling fans, lighting and necessary electric and heating equipment. Merritt’s food-processing experience and communication allowed DBA to pass all inspections and open their facility in July of 2018.

AWARD-WINNING PROJECTS continued

Project Name: Agora Publishing Project Location: 1001 Cathedral Street, Baltimore, MD Summary: Located at 1125 North Charles Street in Baltimore, Agora Publishing hired Merritt Construction Services to renovate roughly 38,000 square feet of space throughout the building’s basement, first and second floors. Working within the building’s existing footprint, basement drywall and concrete masonry walls were demolished to create a new, open-office floorplan. Roughly 120 square feet of garage slab was also removed to construct a shaft wall consisting of CMU and glass block to allow for the penetration of natural light from the first-floor plaza skylight. Along the back wall of the basement, an illuminated backlit graphic wall system, featuring a forest scene, was also installed. Construction in the basement and first floor included audio/video studio rooms, which utilize suspended pipe grid tracks and specialty lighting. In the lobby, renovations included paint, wood accent walls, trim, and carpet in-lay set in previously existing terrazzo flooring. On the first and second floors, approximately 100 new stormwindows were installed along the perimeter. Now, all three floors feature full-height herculite glass partitions; specific GWB elevations; high-end millwork and cabinetry; integrated A/V systems, access controls and security; and feature walls made of Nicaraguan wood.

AWARD-WINNING PROJECTS continued

Project Name: ZeroFox Project Location: 1834 S Charles St, Baltimore, MD Summary: In 2014, ZeroFox retained Merritt to transform the 100-year-old, 6,000 SF “Pabst Castle” in South Baltimore into a 9,084 SF, modern office building with historical flairs. In order to transform this building from a run-down, industrial facility to a modern office, the building required significant restoration and renovation including an all new foundation and roof, new stairwells and flooring as well as electrical, plumbing and mechanical systems. As for the interior design, the owner had a vision to incorporate the beloved historic elements of the building, such as exposed brick and reclaimed lumber, while adding a modern touch. The layout of the finished building houses 2,500 SF of open office, five enclosed group breakout rooms, three private offices, a reception area with glass-framed conference rooms, a 800-SF mezzanine, a kitchen, lounge area, men’s and women’s restrooms with showers, a locker room for employees and room for storage. Additionally, part of the roof was transformed into a deck for outdoor working/social space. With the expertise and creative collaboration efforts of all teams involved, the “Pabst Castle” was restored to its former glory, and now, ZeroFOX has a stunning home for their new headquarters with the perfect blend of historic and modern.

AWARD-WINNING PROJECTS continued

Project Name: Schilling Green II Project Location: 225 Schilling Circle, Hunt Valley, MD Summary: In a keeping with Merritt’s long-standing commitment to environmentally responsible construction, the Schilling Green II project transformed a previously developed site and outdated warehouse into a showcase for sustainable commercial real estate. Seeking to build on the momentum established by Merritt’s award-winning renovation of Schilling Green I, Merritt razed an 85,000 SF warehouse located across the street and constructed Schilling Green II, a four-story, 126,000 SF, Class A green office building. With the goal of achieving LEED® Platinum, Merritt focused on resource conservation, indoor air quality and energy efficiency. The project also posed a design challenge in tying it in to the adjacent architecture of Schilling Green I and the single-story flex buildings also located within the park, continuing the architectural thread and establishing a cohesive campus design. Despite the current economic climate, Schilling Green II has been a financial success for Merritt, spearheaded by EA Engineering, Science and Technology (EA) who signed on as the building’s first tenant, leasing 50% of the building for the next twelve years. The building has not only met its proforma but has also achieved top-of-the-market rents in a market that is currently averaging 12% vacancy for office buildings according to CoStar.

BuckinghamBuilding 3

Project Name: Buckingham Building Project Location: 7580 Buckingham Blvd, Hanover, MD Summary: The first of three Class-A office buildings to be constructed at Merritt’s mixed-use development Buckingham, 7580 Buckingham Boulevard is a two-story, 52,420-square-foot steel building with a brick masonry façade. Chesapeake Urology signed on as the building’s first tenant nearly two months before a building permit was issued, allowing only 10 months to build the core and shell, as well as complete the tenant fit-out. In order to meet the required October 2016 occupancy, construction began in December 2015. To create a stable pad to work through the winter, the project team decided to modify the soil with a calcium/lime cement mixture to reduce the potential weather impact to schedule and budget posed by winter construction. The early acquisition of Chesapeake Urology as an 18,955-square-foot anchor tenant provided an opportunity to design the building to accommodate not only office tenants, but medical professionals as well. As such, the building utilized a composite beam steel structure with a lightweight concrete deck. This allowed for increased live loads and reduced vibrations for increased comfort. By using a composite beam structure, careful attention had to be paid to MEP design and construction in order to reduce challenges between various trades working in the same space. With trades and flexibility in mind, plumbing wet-stacks were located at each column to reduce the need for long horizontal sewer runs, providing flexibility for future tenants while reducing impacts to current tenants. Once the shell was under roof, subcontractors were required to work out of typical sequencing, and phasing was adjusted to prioritize Chesapeake Urology’s build- out on the first floor. Specifically, Merritt expedited MEP contractors, medical gas, additional electric and low voltage wiring to support surgery requirements in four procedure rooms. LEED Silver certified by the U.S. Green Building Council, additional design requirements were prioritized with the commitment to reduce energy consumption by over 14% annually.
