Silverstone Business Campus welcomes new tenant

Software company Neoreef is taking advantage of economic downtimes to move its offices from a location near downtown Boise to The Sundance Company’s Silverstone Business Campus in Meridian, Idaho.

The SilverStone Business Campus is a 90-acre master planned employment center centrally located in Meridian – one of the most rapidly growing cities in the Boise metropolitan area. The campus is ideally located 1/4 mile from Interstate 84 at the Eagle Interchange, and there are more than 1 million square feet of tenant amenities within minutes of the SilverStone Business Campus.

“Right now it’s an ideal time in the commercial real estate market – prices are down. You have the opportunity to renegotiate your lease for a lower rate, or move to something nicer at the same rate you were paying,” said company president and CEO Brian Ernesto. “We moved to a much nicer office in a lot better location – it’s been a very positive move for us.”

The new 1,300-square-foot location, at 1880 S. Cobalt Point Way, Suite 210, is larger than the company’s previous 1,200 square feet, but Ernesto said the real advantage is better access to clients and shortened drive times for employees.

He said while the company has experienced a lull over past year, the new space also offers more flexibility for expansion.

“We’re still growing. Things are definitely slowed down from the rapid, break-neck growth we were seeing last year … (but) we’re still finding that we’re getting some really nice clients this year,” Ernesto said.

“Our old location was nice on the inside, but the location wasn’t necessarily representative of the company we are,” Ernesto said. “The companies that we’re near now are similar to the types of clients we represent.”

The Sundance Company – Commercial Real Estate Development in Boise

Since its inception, The Sundance Company has developed and invested its talent, energy and resources to provide communities, consumers, and businesses in the Treasure Valley with boundless opportunities. As one of the most trusted and experienced commercial real estate leaders in the greater Boise metropolitan area, the business has concentrated a substantial part of its core efforts on commercial real estate development.

The Sundance Company has opted to go beyond the typical commercial real estate development role as the company likes to take a visionary approach to its commercial real estate developments. The firm looks beyond today’s world to determine what buildings will be needed – and where they need to be – years from now. Commercial real estate developers take the greatest risk by looking into the future and predicting what tomorrow’s businesses and consumers will need as it is far from an exact science, but The Sundance Company feels their projections and track record have been successful largely due to their expertise and understanding of the Treasure Valley.

Their latest project – Silverstone Corporate Plaza – is an excellent example. In October 2008, The Sundance Company commenced construction on the 124,000 square foot, Class A office condominium located within the highly coveted Silverstone development at Eagle and Overland Roads in Meridian. The Corporate Plaza is slated for completion by mid –summer 2009. But when the company was founded in 1976, did the founders imagine commercial buildings, office complexes, and retail centers in an area such as Eagle and Overland in Meridian?

“Yes. My father, Roger Anderson, had a vision for The Sundance Company and sought out these opportunities and turned them into a reality,” said Travis Anderson, Chief Operating Officer. “In the process it has helped communities in the greater Boise metropolitan area like Meridian and Nampa continue to grow and flourish.

“Tomorrow’s manufacturers, distributors, retailers and employers will have a home in the Treasure Valley because The Sundance Company has the daring and vision to foresee their needs.”

The Sundance Company is experienced in all phases of the commercial real estate development process. Their finely-tuned process includes the financial feasibility of commercial real estate development, which involves the identification and evaluation of critical assumptions related to the creation, construction, and operation of economically viable commercial real estate projects in the Boise, Meridian, and Nampa area. From idea inception to asset management, their thorough understanding of this process benefits not only The Sundance Company, but investors, lenders, builders and communities as well.

The Sundance Company – Silverstone Corporate Plaza

The Sundance Company has recently commenced construction of the Silverstone Corporate Plaza, a 124,000 square foot, class A office condominium located within the highly coveted Silverstone development at Eagle and Overland Roads in Meridian. The Corporate Plaza is slated for completion by mid –summer 2009.

“By developing this project as an office condominium, we hope to provide our clients with the flexibility to either own or lease high quality office space in a magnitude unprecedented in the Valley” said Travis Anderson, Chief Operating Officer,“We believe this was a key factor in the selection of the Silverstone Corporate Plaza by Home Federal Bancorp for its 20,000 square feet executive offices and commercial banking offices and full service retail branch with drive-through banking facilities, a space they will own”.

As the Corporate Plaza stands to become Sundance’s flagship property, it is anticipated The Sundance Company will relocate its corporate office to this state-of-the-art facility from its current location within the Blackeagle Business Center (Overland and Maple Grove)in Boise. The availability of on-site concierge services, shared use conference, board and training rooms and projected on-site executive suites will provide the flexibility and efficiency expected from today’s sophisticated consumer. According to the company President, Chris Anderson, “The service infrastructure that will be incorporated into this project will not only be a benefit to the tenants of the Silverstone Corporate Plaza, it will also allow Sundance to continue to exceed the service needs of our entire client base”.

Some of the high-quality interior finishes will include mosaic glass and tile, artisan wall coverings, and domed ceilings. In addition, the architect has selected a slab granite façade designed to accentuate the large scale of the building. There will be a generous parking ratio (which is standard in Sundance developments), in addition to covered executive parking, ample tenant improvement allowance, and owner financing available.

The Corporate Plaza’s convenient location in Meridian is adjacent to the I-84 interchange, and also amongst numerous restaurants, financial institutions, medical and dental offices, the Idaho Athletic Club and the Candlewood Suites Extended Stay Hotel.
