Luxottica Retail North American Headquarters
Office

286,000 square foot divisional headquarters building

Neyer was selected to provide all design-build services for Luxottica's new North American headquarters because of our design quality and willingness to meet an aggressive timetable. Luxottica Place is home to more than 900 employees of LensCrafters, Sunglass Hut, Watch Station, Watch World and EyeMed, which comprise Luxottica Retail. The 286,000-square-foot complex features four stories in a glass façade arching gracefully around a wooded site. The building's office areas are surrounded by floor-to-ceiling glass, providing natural light and views to the exterior. A large outdoor public plaza, complete with a sound system, overlooks a pastoral setting. Two footbridges lead from the plaza to a nature trail.

Amenities created solely for the company's 900+ employees include a 380-seat restaurant with a full-service kitchen; company store, complete with lens making lab; credit union; and a fully equipped gym, with a separate aerobics room.

A prime testament to the efficiencies of Neyer's design-build process, the unique project was ready for occupancy just 18 months after the start of design and 15 months after groundbreaking.
