Nauset Construction completes renovation of 51,500 s/f Clock Tower Place

Nauset Constructionhas completed renovations for Clock Tower Place, a three-building 51,500 s/f office complex located at 17-19 Willow St. and 4 Mechanic St. Completed in two phases, the $2.3 million renovation project allows owner Daly Natick LLC to reposition the property to maximize tenant appeal. This facility offers parking and is located near the commuter rail, major highways as well as downtown retail shops, offices and walking/bicycle paths. The complex is currently anchored by Tir Na Nog Childcare and the Metrowest Academy of Jiu Jitsu. "We're confident that our repositioning executed by Nauset Construction and KSID Architecture & Interior Design will pay dividends as the Metro West office leasing market strengthens," said Doug Potter, president of NAI Hunneman Management and Development owners representative for the project. Phase I of the renovations consisted of significant upgrades to the 17,000 s/f, two-story 4 Mechanic St. location, including a complete reconfiguration of the main entry that incorporates a new handicapped accessible entrance; extensive renovations to two lobbies and corridors featuring stone tile flooring, decorative wooden panels and new walls and ceilings. A new kitchenette and office space were also constructed and two restrooms were renovated with energy-efficient light and water fixtures. Phase II renovations at 19 Willow St. involved substantial exterior construction including a new clock tower, two dormers, a new building façade with all new windows and exterior doors. Interior work included a new elevator, entry-lobby and the addition of structural steel upgrades at the second floor to support the updated mezzanine space above and meet current building codes. Renovations to 17 Willow St. included building façade upgrades, a new ADA ramp and roof. The construction took place while the multi-tenanted building remained fully operational, a testament to Nauset's extensive experience working in occupied and operational facilities across the commercial, education, senior living and medical sectors. "Maintaining a safe and non-obtrusive environment for business owners and their customers while performing high quality construction are joint priorities for our firm," said Anthony Papantonis, president of Nauset.
