The Crossroads Business Park

The Crossroads Business Park is a modern, 139,352 m2 office and retail space in Southern California. It features a host of modern amenities and a progressive design that includes large format travertine natural stone tile on the facade of the building. The developers were committed to a sustainable building process and employed a number of innovative approaches in the construction that posed several challenges. The building is four stories tall and was built using concrete, tilt-up walls, meaning that the walls were poured horizontally and then hoisted into place and tied together. LATICRETE was brought in early in the process to identify the best materials and implementation to achieve the desired results for the exterior tiling.

“The stone tile is the highlight of the building as visitor’s approach, so we needed the best possible installation that will hold up over time. LATICRETE products give us the performance we need and give the project’s owners peace of mind”, said Architect John R. Burroughs, LEED AP Commerce Construction Co., L.P.

The installation took a little more than three months to complete and utilised a range of LATICRETE materials including HYDRO BAN®, PERMACOLOR® Grout, LATASIL™ and 254 Platinum Adhesive. With the right products, Commerce Construction was able to achieve the elegant look the client wanted while achieving an installation that will hold up well to the constant heat and occasional rain of the area. The building is a success and is a centerpiece of the business park, helping to draw a variety of tenants who appreciate the outstanding construction quality.

Project Spotlight: Crossroads Business Park

A LATICRETE Solution

In Southern California, the Crossroads Business Park is a modern 139,354 m2 office and retail space which features a host of modern amenities and a progressive design that includes large format travertine natural stone tile on the façade of the building. One of the challenges that came with the project was that the building is four stories tall and was built using concrete, tilt-up walls, meaning that the walls were poured horizontally and then hoisted in to place and tied together. LATICRETE was brought in early to the process to identify the best materials and methods to achieve the desired results for the exterior tiling.

“With more than 7,432 m2 of stone tile on the exterior, reaching up four stories, proper installation with reliable materials was critical. LATICRETE was able to deliver not only the best adhesives and grouts, but also help the clients achieve their sustainability goals.” ~ Brett Spencer Regional Sales Manager, LATICRETE

The installation took just over three months to complete and LATICRETE was used throughout the project which provided a 25 year warranty. With the LATICRETE solution, the desired look the client was after, was achieved as well as an installation that will hold up well throughout the years. The building is a success and is the centre-piece of the business park. Read the full Project Spotlight here.
