About this Project

MP provided design services for renovations to the headquarters of National Development, one of New England’s largest development companies. The design opened the ceiling to brighten the space and used an abundance of glass to promote transparency and light. Providing space planning and interior design services, MP substantially updated the office design and relocated amenities to create an open, modern, and collaborative space for staff.

A connecting staircase was designed to unite the second floor with the third floor multi-use café, which features a bar with custom cabinetry and high-top tables along the perimeter of the lounge area. A reclaimed wood feature wall creates a comfortable, at-home feel. To allow National Development’s operations to continue during construction, MP phased the renovation schedule and used available swing space.

Over the years, MP and National Development have collaborated on several building repositioning projects in Massachusetts, including the 101 Station Drive office building at University Station in Westwood and the medical office building conversion of 200 Unicorn Park in Woburn.
