View Smart Windows to be Featured in Seattle-Area Skanska Office Project
January 25 2022 - 7:00AM
View, Inc. (NASDAQ: VIEW) (“View”), the leader in smart building
technologies, has been selected by global construction and
development leader Skanska to be featured in The Eight, a Class-A
high-rise office tower and one of the first buildings in the
Bellevue Central Business District to feature smart windows.
Built, developed, and owned by Skanska USA Commercial
Development, The Eight is a 25-story, 541,000 square-foot
commercial office tower featuring retail spaces, a public plaza,
and numerous exterior balconies. View Smart Windows will be part of
a suite of tenant-focused amenities, including a dedicated floor
for tenant events, a health and wellness center, electric vehicle
and e-bike charging, and more. The windows will provide continuous
views of Lake Washington and downtown Bellevue, while also reducing
energy consumption at The Eight.
View Smart Windows use artificial intelligence to automatically
adjust in response to outdoor conditions, controlling heat and
glare and eliminating the need for blinds. The windows measurably
improve the health and well-being of building occupants. A recent
study found that people working in rooms with View Smart Windows
experienced half as many headaches, slept 37 minutes longer each
night, and performed 42% better on cognitive tests compared to
those working in rooms with standard windows and blinds.
“The greater Seattle office sector is booming, and in a
post-COVID market, amenities focused on tenant wellness will be
more important than ever,” said Murphy McCullough, EVP and Regional
Manager with Skanska. “Our investment in View Smart Windows
furthers Skanska’s commitment to innovation and to enhancing the
sustainability of the built environment.”
Skanska and View have maintained an ongoing, multi-year
relationship — largely through office projects where Skanska USA
Building served as a general contractor. Skanska has overseen the
construction of numerous buildings that feature View Smart Windows,
including 1155 Avenue of the Americas, a renovated Class-A office
building in midtown Manhattan owned by the Durst Organization, and
global biotechnology company Regeneron’s headquarters in Sleepy
Hollow, New York.
“Skanska has long recognized that buildings of the future will
be smart, healthy, and sustainable," added Dr. Rao Mulpuri, CEO of
View. “Our deepening partnership reflects our shared ambition to
transform how buildings are designed and experienced.”
Pickard Chilton served as the lead architect for The Eight,
which broke ground in June 2021.
