KDC Breaks Ground on New 205,000 SF Office Building for Credit Suisse in Raleigh

RALEIGH, N.C. — KDC has started construction on a new regional office building for Credit Suisse in Raleigh’s Research Triangle Park. The 205,000-square-foot, four-story building will be located at 6933 Louis Stephens Drive, adjacent to the existing Credit Suisse office building that KDC developed in 2007. Upon completion of the new facility in June 2019, KDC will begin renovations of the existing building. More than 3,000 Credit Suisse employees will occupy the campus after the project is complete. The investment banking and financial services company is headquartered in Zürich and has regional offices across the U.S. The 62-acre site will feature outdoor workspaces, a new food service cafeteria, internet cafés, conference center and a pedestrian trail. In addition, KDC will add new entrance and exit points and a pedestrian bridge to connect the two buildings. The developer plans to seek LEED certification for the project. Architecture firm Gensler, general contractor Brasfield & Gorrie and engineer Crenshaw make up the rest of the project team.
