Whirlpool campus in Benton Harbor, Mich.
Whirlpool Corporation on Sept. 9 selected The Pizzuti Companies, of Columbus, Ohio, as developer for its new corporate campus to be located in downtown Benton Harbor, Mich. The new development will transform the property into an office campus of three three-story buildings and other amenities.
“Pizzuti offered a creative and talented team that not only embraced Whirlpool Corporation’s 100-year history but also demonstrated an understanding of what it takes to support our forward-looking innovation processes,” said Lee Utke, director of global corporate real estate for Whirlpool Corporation. “They offered a holistic solution, a commitment to using locally based contractors and service providers, and a demonstrated track record of successful community enhancement projects.”
The proposed design will also target LEED Gold certification.
Pizzuti’s development projects include the Heathrow International Business Center in Orlando, Fla., and One and Two Miranova, a mixed-use redevelopment in downtown Columbus that features a luxury high-rise condominium tower and a 12-story Class-A office building that serves as home to Pizzuti’s corporate headquarters.
In addition, Pizzuti is serving as master developer for Exploration Park, a high-tech research and office park on the grounds of the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Pizzuti also has completed multiple buildings for Whirlpool Corporation, including a 1.6-million-square-foot LEED-certified facility.
“We’re extremely pleased to continue our long-standing relationship with Whirlpool Corporation,” said Joel Pizzuti, president and chief operating officer of The Pizzuti Companies. “The entire Pizzuti team is committed to delivering a sustainable, world-class corporate headquarters that will allow Whirlpool to continue to retain and attract the best and brightest minds to its corporate workforce.”
