In addition to the full core and shell construction, Harvey-Cleary provided tenant fit-out services for 71,430 SF of interior construction for Pearson Education.

By serving as the built-to-suit contractor, Harvey-Cleary was able to achieve efficiencies in both cost and schedule for the project. Additionally, by being the general contractor for both packages, the project team was able to better identify and resolve conflicts between base building and interiors internally, which provided a streamlined construction process for both the Owner and Tenant.
