ABOUT
GARREN HISTORY
By combining the names of the Bailey-Johnson School’s founders, George Bailey and Warren Johnson, we’ve infused unity, collaboration and transformation into the DNA of this unique property.
Garren, meaning “guardian,” serves to preserve the essence of the site’s rich history and establish itself as a place where imaginative work happens. By blending boundless inspiration, experience and enthusiasm, we are reframing what the office space does for companies by cultivating a distinct vision of a new workplace.
COMMERCIAL
MASS TIMBER
The look, feel and sustainability of Garren is of utmost importance. That why mass timber was selected as a structural and building system from the onset. With large floorplates (40,000 sf), the three- level building maximizes useable space, natural light, and supports efficient tenant planning. The 24’x20’ structural grid allows for easy planning of offices, open collaborative spaces, and dedicated workspaces for single, or multi- tenant users.
- Differentiation, warmth, character, and biophilic design
- Improved air quality
- Floor plans ideal for open-concept spaces
- Sustainable construction
- Renewable resources from well-managed forests
