A ceremony in Merriweather District, located in downtown Columbia, Maryland, celebrated the groundbreaking of a 12-story office building that will ultimately serve as headquarters for cybersecurity company Tenable<\/a>. Owned by the Howard Hughes Corporation<\/a> (HHC), the building is one of many slated for the area, which is expected to become a commercial hub for technology and innovation.<\/p>\n

The 32,516-m2<\/sup> (350,000-sf) office building, which is anticipated to achieve Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design<\/a> (LEED) Silver certification under the U.S. Green Building Council<\/a> (USGBC), is scheduled to open in late 2019, with Tenable occupying approximately 13,935 m2<\/sup> (150,000 sf) on floors seven to 12. The structure, like all others in the neighborhood, will include Steer Tech<\/a>, a self-parking service.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
The district is expected to revitalize the downtown Columbia neighborhood as a commercial hub for technology and innovation.<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The new build, located at 6100 Merriweather Drive, will join One and Two Merriweather, a collection of class-A, mixed-use office buildings already open in the neighborhood.<\/p>\n

When completed, the Merriweather District revitalization project will feature 1.3 million m2<\/sup> (14 million sf) of mixed-use development, including 2300 residential units, a 250-room hotel, more than 139,355 m2<\/sup> (1.5 million sf) of office space, and 29,171 m2<\/sup> (314,000 sf) of street retail, including a central park. Planned by JP2 Architects<\/a>, the district is expected to be one of the first on the East Coast to achieve LEED Neighborhood Development v4.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese outstanding companies and \u201csmart-city\u201d amenities exemplify our bold vision for downtown Columbia and our community-centered approach to business,\u201d said John DeWolf, senior vice president of development, HHC. \u201cThe Merriweather District is designed to be a dynamic live-work-play destination with access to unique offerings, great restaurants, and an iconic entertainment venue within a beautiful, walkable environment.\u201d<\/p>\n
