Greiner Construction Tapped For IDS Build-Out

MINNEAPOLIS-Greiner Construction has been hired to oversee the build-out of the new corporate headquarters for the Merchant & Gould law firm at the IDS Center inDowntown. Greiner Construction, the Minneapolis-based construction firm, is working with the architectural firm of Perkins & Will, is managing reconstruction of the 90,000-sf area that covers four floors of the landmark tower.

“As one of the largest intellectual property attorneys in the country, Merchant & Gould wanted this space to reflect both its history of experience as well as its cutting edge capabilities,” says Wolfgang Greiner, president of Greiner Construction. Cost estimates on the build-out were not available.

The office design was planned to create a flexible workspace that allows employees to move around the office, offering computer plug-ins from anywhere in the office. The new office will retain the existing three-story spiral staircase, and will add the law library and employee dining room. The project uses a lot of high-end custom wood detailing, says Kevin Rolfes, the project architect who works for Perkins & Will.
