Roundhill Construction builds out 48,272 s/f at 101 Summer Street on behalf of owner Synergy Investment & Development

Roundhill Construction completed the build-out of 48,272 s/f of office space at 101 Summer St. on behalf of property owner Synergy Investment & Development. Roundhill Const. conducted several separate fit-out projects over eight months at 101 Summer St., which was acquired by Synergy in 2010. Also known as the Church Green building, 101 Summer St. is a 50,673 s/f office building located at the intersection of Summer, Devonshire and Bedford Sts. Built in 1873, the historic property features modern office facilities on five floors and is a signature property in Synergy's portfolio. The largest of the projects involved the build-out of 20,000 s/f on the second and third floors of 101 Summer St. for law firm Murphy & Riley. Roundhill Const. and architect NELSON reconfigured the firm's offices and built new conference, break and IT rooms, as well as new file space. The fast-track project was completed in three weeks. "I want to take this opportunity to commend the Roundhill team for its work on the Murphy & Riley tenant fit-out," Synergy investment & development director James Grady said of Roundhills work on the Murphy & Riley build-out. "As a result of Roundhill's tireless efforts and attention to every detail, all of its employees and contractors represented Roundhill extremely well and exemplified client service. We look forward to working again with the Roundhill team in the near future." Roundhill also conducted a 12,000 s/f fit-out for Randall & Quilter Investment Holdings, which specializes in non-life insurance investments and services. Roundhill created new conference, IT and break rooms in the fifth-floor space, as well a new mail room. On the first floor of 101 Summer St., Roundhill conducted a complete demolition from floor to ceiling while rebuilding two bathrooms and a storage room for tenant Weight Watchers. In the building's basement, Roundhill renovated 2,000 s/f of hallway and fitness center space, including installation of keycard-access doorways. The enlarged fitness center now features a mirrored glass wall, painted accents and rubber flooring. "Our work with Synergy at 101 Summer St. involved numerous tenants, building common space, infrastructure and everything in between," said Ted Fish, president of Roundhill Construction. "The relationship we've established with Synergy has been extremely beneficial to both parties and is one we hope to continue long into the foreseeable future."
