Meridian, Idaho’s Mayor Tammy de Weerd recently wrote about The Sundance Company in her City of Meridian blog, http://www.meridiancity.org/blogs.aspx?id=4195&blogid=701. Or you can just read below …

Over the last year, many have anxiously watched the southeast corner skyline of Eagle and Overland Roads transform as one of Meridian’s newest buildings, the Silverstone Corporate Plaza, takes shape.  This incredibly elegant building gives us another reason to celebrate all that we have going on in Meridian and in our business parks.

Not so long ago, commercial business parks were developed as dry, bland rows of boxy warehouse-style buildings connected by meandering dead-end streets and parking lots.  No personality; no style.  Today, Meridian’s business parks don’t just break that old stereotype… they shatter it!

Within the 170-acre Silverstone Business Park, large employers such as Power Engineers, Citi, Intermountain Orthopedics, AmeriBen/IEC Group, Bodybuilding.com, Idaho Athletic Club, Sage Diagnostics and Imaging, T-Mobile, Neurological Associates, and Academy Mortgage to name a few, share the grounds with a variety of retail, dining, service, and lodging providers.  Whether you are looking for sushi from Sakana Japanese Sushi and Steak Hours or would like to try a “staycation” at the Candlewood Suites Hotel, you can do it all in Silverstone.

Silverstone’s developer, The Sundance Company, has created a balanced, multi-functional business environment, and has found ways to include many of the “nice-ities” that make going to work or doing business a more pleasant experience.  From attractive landscaping to cutting-edge amenities such as the concierge services available to tenants of the new Corporate Plaza, the development’s thoughtful design and aesthetically-pleasing appearance are sure to go far in continuing to attract economically-vibrant tenants to this business park and our community.

Amber Grant has accepted the Business Concierge position with The Sundance Company in Boise, Idaho. Ms. Grant has been has been with The Sundance Company for three years serving as the executive assistant to The Sundance Company’s leadership team as well as the coordinator for Bushmen Safaris.

Ms. Grant will start-up and independently manage the highly-anticipated Silverstone Corporate Plaza amenity center in Meridian, Idaho. This center will serve the entire Silverstone Park, which upon completion comprise of 1.6 million square feet of commercial properties. This concierge role will entail business event planning, preferred services for all park occupants, as well as scheduling all conference and meeting areas in the Silverstone Corporate Plaza (completion date Sept. 2009).
