MIAMI — Constructing an office building usually starts as a blank slate. A developer first talks to an architect, who designs the building. After conversations with the HVAC contractor, it is determined which type of heating and air conditioning system will best serve the occupants in the building.
When the Doral Costa Office Building was being designed, it didn’t really start as a blank slate. That’s because the developer knew one thing for sure: He didn’t want any mechanical equipment located inside the building.
