Vantage Builders finalizes 20,000 s/f renovation for Lutronic’s Headquarters

Billerica, MA Vantage Builders, Inc. has completed a renovation project for Lutronic, at its U.S. headquarters at 19 Fortune Dr. Lutronic is a global leader in laser and energy-based systems for medical aesthetics.

The 20,000 s/f project included work in the building’s lobby, clinical space on the first floor and office space on the second. An important factor in the project was that the Lutronic team needed to maintain occupancy. The Vantage team worked diligently to reduce construction noise and shutdowns to minimize disruption to Lutronic’s employees.

“The Vantage Builders team did a tremendous job updating our office and clinical space, creating a more inviting work environment for our valued employees,” said Michael Palumbo, vice president of global service, Lutronic. “The new lobby is welcoming and reflects the positive work being done on behalf of our clients and their patients.”

The highlight of the project is the building’s new lobby. The Vantage team rebuilt a spiral staircase, refinishing the railings and steel stringers and recladding the steps with new tile. Behind the spiral, and creating a focal point of the lobby for visitors and employees, is a moss wall. New lighting accentuates the space.

The Vantage team expanded Lutronic’s clinical space on the first floor, converting former warehouse space into three offices, a large conference room, a kitchenette and a sitting area for clinic visitors. The entire second floor was renovated, including 15 new offices, a training room, conference room, a collaboration huddle room, and cubicles.

“Every corporate office renovation project is different because our clients are all different, and ultimately our work reflects their business,” said Ed Silva, principal at Vantage Builders. “And whether the project is for a small business or an international corporation like Lutronic, it all comes down to how people are using the space and how we can help our client succeed in their industry.”

The project team included Ebbrell Architecture + Design, RMF Engineering and JLL Project & Development Services.

Investing in a falling rate environment - by Harrison Klein

Long-term interest rates have fallen by 100 basis points, and the market is normalizing. In December of 2022 I wrote an article about investing in a high interest rate, high inflation market. Since then, inflation has cooled off, and the Fed has begun lowering their funds rate.
