Arcotec S.A., a Haitian construction firm, is pleased to announce that ground has been broken and construction is underway for the ten-story "Genesis” office building in Delmas, Port au Prince, Haiti. Sogebank S.A. will be the primary tenant for the Genesis building, which is scheduled for completion in 2013. Some office spaces are available for lease on the upper floors. The Genesis building is being constructed to international standards, using two earthquake resistance codes (International Building Code and California Building Code), as well as the Florida Building Code for hurricane resistance. Genesis will include numerous amenities and conveniences for tenant firms and their guests, including underground parking, extended-stay hotel, and rooftop café with garden and patio. "We’re very excited about Genesis,” says Gregory Figaro, Arcotec executive chairman. "The building will combine beauty—a light, airy design with a lot of glass—and structural redundancies so the building will be very strong. Our goal is to offer a comfortable and safe ‘Class A’ base in a premium location for companies working in Haiti.” Genesis typical floor plates are 14,000 square feet; subdivision and customization are possible. The Genesis building will offer fiber optic connectivity for data and voice transmissions, off-the-grid reliable electrical and water systems, and 24/7/365 concierge and security stations. Figaro sees Genesis as an example of Arcotec’s contributions to rebuilding Haiti after the earthquake of January 2010. "Genesis is more than just a new building, it’s also part of a new beginning for Haiti and Haiti’s business community. We’re excited and proud to be a part of reconstruction, particularly since Arcotec has the resources to build beautiful world-class structures with the strength to withstand the challenges of Haiti’s natural environment.”
