Senate Const. begins 50,000 s/f headquarters for Mass Crane & Hoist

Tyngsborogh, MA Senate Construction Corp. has begun construction on a new 50,000 s/f pre-engineered metal building for Crane Realty Trust. The facility will serve as the new headquarters for Mass Crane and Hoist, Inc. 
Senate, a certified Butler Builder, was selected to manage this design/build project for its expertise in managing construction of pre-engineered metal buildings, extensive experience constructing manufacturing/distribution buildings, and a reputation for delivering the highest quality product.

After exponential growth over the past several years, Mass Crane had outgrown their 20,000 s/f corporate headquarters. This new facility will double the size of the company’s headquarters and contain office, manufacturing, and meeting space with a pink noise system throughout the office space to minimize distracting noise and increase privacy. 

The two-story grand lobby will feature a large platformed mezzanine and an open staircase with polished concrete and frameless glass. Outside, the unique design of the front entrance includes insulated metal panels comprised of different shapes, sizes, textures, and colors. The manufacturing space will feature five bridge cranes, multiple welding stations, and a large capacity paint booth.

“We’re very excited to be working with Mass Crane and Hoist on this transformative project,” said Jon Karp, Senate’s project manager and director of special projects. “Their business is growing and thriving, and this new facility will give them the state-of-the-art tools – including bridge cranes, which they not only manufacture and distribute but use in their own business – and space they need to ensure success for years to come.”
