APL Phoenix Headquarters Relocation Complete

Feb. 26, 2010 - PRLog -- Leading Design firm Ware Malcomb is proud to announce design and construction are complete for American President Lines’ (APL) new Americas headquarters which will house approximately 300 employees.  This project is located within the LEED certified office development, The Max @ Kierland (www.maxatkierland.com) located at 16220 North Scottsdale Road in Phoenix, Arizona.   Container shipping giant APL (www.apl.com) is a subsidiary of Singapore-based Neptune Orient Lines (www.nol.com.sg).

Ware Malcomb provided interior architecture and design services, including furniture selection for APL’s new office location, encompassing 65,000 square feet.   APL’s concern was efficiently utilizing space while maintaining clean, minimalist design. New interior spaces include private and open office, conference rooms, training areas, server room and break areas. The project incorporates sustainable design features, including high recycled content carpet.  Ware Malcomb’s in-house graphic design studio wm | graphics also designed interior signage for the project.
