A 150,000-square-foot tenant improvement is underway in Vancouver, Washington. Tech leader ZoomInfo’s new headquarters will move from its current location at 805 Broadway St. to a four-story office at Terminal 1 along the Columbia River.

The Terminal 1 office building is technically two buildings, Block A and Block C, connected by a skybridge and a street level launch. ZoomInfo has leased both buildings from Lincoln Property Co. and will have the sixth floor in Block C and the 6-9 floors in Block A. The office will include waterfront access and parking.

Floors five and below are for parking with retail space on the first floor. There is also a fitness center and amenity conference training on the second floor.

Robertson & Olson Construction of Camas, Washington, was the contractor for the shell of the building and finished construction late last year. Lease Crutcher Lewis began the $30 million ZoomInfo tenant improvement project in May of last year. The tenant improvement is 150,000 square feet; the entire building is 300,000 square feet.

鈥淲e’re nearly crossing the finish line,鈥� Kelly Nelson, senior project manager at Lewis, said.

The tenant improvement will be complete in mid-June. The project had a lot of significance for Lease Crutcher Lewis, as it is the largest tenant improvement project it has completed in the Portland Metro/Vancouver area, Nelson said.

The project team also includes GBD Architects, HVAC and plumbing by McKinstry, fire sprinklers by COSCO Fire Protection of Vancouver, electric and voltage by Christenson Electric and some structural engineering by KPFF.

Nelson said the tenant improvement includes a connecting stair between levels 8 and 9 in Block A. The structure is post-tensioned slab. Robertson & Olson left an opening for the stairs but there were some components Lewis had to add for the staircase itself. KPFF was the engineer for that work.

The tenant improvements will include the fitness center and training center on floor 2, conference areas, huddle rooms, open workstations, some large conference rooms, collaboration areas and break rooms.

鈥淭here’s great natural light and there’s great views of the river and the boardwalk,鈥� said Matt Simpson, director and head of global real estate at ZoomInfo. 鈥淥ne of the things we wanted to do was increase the amount of collaboration space and conference rooms but also bring in the natural light, get our employees closer to the glass line and open up the floor plates so people are sitting closer to the glass line.鈥�

Simpson said the building was designed with large floor plates. To increase the amount of collaboration space, GBD Architects designed a spine through the middle of each floor plate where the team has located conference rooms of varying sizes, huddle rooms and breakout spaces. This enabled the team to put open workstations near the glass.

One of the unique aspects of the project is that it is 64 percent female-led, with women on every level, from project executive to project coordinator. On the GBD Architects team, the lead architect is female. Almost the entire JLL team, which serves as owner’s representative for ZoomInfo, is also female.

Nelson and Simpson said this was not intentional for the project but was a bonus. Lewis strives to have diversity on their project teams and support women in the trades, they said. Simpson said it was a discussion point on ZoomInfo’s end but not a specific goal they made for the project.

Nelson said female-led projects are becoming more prevalent for Lewis, and over the years the number of women at Lewis has grown. She is also seeing more women in the trades in general. Simpson added that it feels more evenly split among project teams and teams feel more diverse.

The new office will open sometime in July with a ribbon cutting to celebrate the grand opening.

鈥淭here’s a lot of excitement from our employees about moving into the new space and being on the Vancouver waterfront,鈥� Simpson said.
