Jones Lang LaSalle completes $2m Langham's BOND rest./lounge project

Jones Lang LaSalle has completed construction of The Langham, Boston's new BOND restaurant/lounge, a premier destination for cosmopolitan dining, cocktails and entertainment. The high end $2 million interior project capitalizes on the grandeur of the room's historical significance introducing modern elements with an international flare. Senior vice president Harry Dangora served as project executive, Don Dignan was the senior construction manager, Dan Donahue was the senior project superintendent, and Christopher Hardiman the estimator on the assignment. The 2,200 s/f space within the former Federal Reserve Bank has been transformed into a unique venue that combines classic architecture with cutting edge materials and a contemporary design aesthetic. Facing infrastructure and scheduling challenges, Jones Lang LaSalle worked closely with BOND owner and operator The Langham, Boston and the project team to deliver an exclusive dining and nightlife setting that features: 25-ft. high Barrisol ceilings from France; restoration of the original Federal Reserve Bank bronze seal set in the original terrazzo flooring, a Santos Mahogany wood bar with custom millwork and back lit glass/mirror boxes; custom carpet imported from China; and bold graphic 3-form window panels. A new elevator was installed for ADA access, and stairs were added for access to the Dom Perignon Mezzanine overlooking the main dining room. BOND was designed by the team at Jeffrey Beers International. The architect of record was TRO Jung/Brannen. Mechanical and electrical engineering was provided by WB Engineering, and the lighting design by D Schweppe.
