Senior Thesis The Reinsurance Group of America's Global Headquarters embodies a presence fitting for a Fortune 500 company, serving general office and training purposes. The complex will have two five story office buildings with the addition of a third in a future expansion. The two office buildings total 405, 000 square feet and stand at an overall height of 85 feet above grade. Parking on grade sits on a two story parking garage below. Three bio-retention basins are a primary site feature along the southwestern line of the property. This first project phase totals approximately $150 million. Construction began in March 2013 and will end in September of 2014. |
