After outgrowing its previous space, a national environmental services firm expanded its local footprint with a new, larger lease within one of Albuquerque’s premier office buildings.
Hazen and Sawyer took possession of its new, approximately 3,200-square-foot office space on the fourth floor of 100 Sun Ave. NE at the beginning of January, according to Senior Principal Administrator Brenda Kearl. Its previous location was on the second floor of the same office building.
Based in New York, Hazen and Sawyer partners with local utilities and communities to plan, design and protect critical water resources.
“(Locally) Hazen helps address the unique challenges of the arid Southwest through projects that improve water quality, strengthen infrastructure and enhance resilience to drought and climate variability,” Kearl said.
The firm made the move up two floors of the Sun Avenue office building to create additional offices and workstations for its growing Albuquerque team.
Hazen and Sawyer has a 5-year lease term for the new space and declined to disclose its lease payment.
Hazen and Sawyer spent several months evaluating options for this office expansion with the help of an internal commercial real estate broker, Kearl said.
Ultimately, 100 Sun Avenue’s central Albuquerque location, accessibility and modern, high-quality office environment made it an ideal fit for the firm.
The new office has a more open layout than its previous space and more workstations to support current and future employees.
It also includes a larger conference room and break area, which the environmental services firm believes will enhance collaboration, client meetings and office gatherings.
JWB Solutions and Arches Architecture played roles in planning, designing and completing the tenant improvements for the new office, Kearl said. AIC General Contractor also helped with the tenant improvements, according to the City of Albuquerque Planning Department.
Shóna Martinez and Scott Whitefield of CBRE are the listing brokers for the property. The 183,000-square-foot office building has approximately 28,000 square feet of available space, according to a Commercial Association of Realtors New Mexico listing.
