Robert Treat Paine Building
Myles Standish Industrial Park, Taunton, Massachusetts
This distinctive 80,000 sq. ft. building was the first office building in the very successful Myles Standish Industrial Park, which contains 27 R&D and industrial facilities on a 437-acre woodland site just off Route 495. The handsome two-story exposed aggregate and glass building features a striking vaulted glass atrium entrance; an elegant lobby with pink granite floors, a monumental granite staircase and lush interior planters; and a highly efficient 25-foot square bay configuration. The entire building was net leased to GTE wishing six months of completion, a good indication that a real need for first-class office space existed in this market. The $5.2 million project was completed in 1988, and a second office building is now being developed by Weld Management on an adjacent site.
