Lee Kennedy Co. relocates to 14,000 s/f offices in Quincy

After thirty years in Dorchester, Lee Kennedy Co. Inc.needed more space to support the growing staff, which resulted in purchasing a building on Quincy Shore Dr. Three fourths of the existing two-story building will be fit out to accommodate its offices, while the remaining is occupied by existing tenants. Lee Michael Kennedy, president/CEO said, "This new building will provide us with exactly what our company needs to continue to grow and prosper, attract new talent, and to promote the image of a vibrant and exciting company that is changing dynamics of the local construction market." The 14,000 s/f space required a typical office build out, including conference rooms, offices, server room, kitchen area, and a reception area. The scope of work included ceiling and soffit adjustments, lighting and tel/data upgrades, a new security system, as well as window treatments and various new floor and wall finishes. During the renovation every effort was made to incorporate sustainable features including the reuse of existing walls for new offices, soffits and partitions as well as reuse of ceiling tiles to conserve materials. Lee Kennedy Co., in its 30th year, is a full service general contractor serving the New England area. Our mission is to be the premier provider of client-focused, quality solutions, in the construction industry. Our success is measured in client satisfaction. Lee Kennedy Co. has extensive experience in the commercial, retail, institutional, hospitality, health care/sciences and residential markets.
