In 2021, MVRDV unveiled the design of a terraced office building created for the agriculture company Lankuaikei. Set within a rapidly developing area of Shanghai, the 11-storey structure is covered by a curved technological roof that follows the stepping structure. The project is conceived as a showcase of the company's vision of food production, with an extensive sustainability agenda encompassing various strategies. These include extensive use of greenery, integration of renewable energy, and the use of low-carbon materials. The construction process is now captured by StudioSZ Photo / Justin Szeremeta, revealing an intermediary state where the bare-bone structure begins to reveal the shape and scale of the building. Structural construction details are also visible at this stage,

The project's terraces step down towards the main pedestrian entrance and include a publicly accessible route to the top of the building where LAD can showcase its work. Inside, the building contains offices, labs, and co-working spaces, as well as an auditorium and exhibition spaces. On the ground floor's perimeter are small retail outlets, together with three entrances, two of which are linked by an exhibition space. The underground levels contain parking and a canteen, with the green focus extending here as well through voids that allow light and fresh air to enter the space.
Incorporating sustainability into every surface of a building is an interesting challenge for an architect, and it's one that, as a design team, we embraced whole-heartedly. This approach is not just good for the planet, it will also be appreciated by the users of the offices, who will be able to enjoy the pleasant working environment offered by the terraces." - MVRDV founding partner Jacob van Rijs
The project is set to be highly sustainable, addressing a wide variety of challenges through a combination of high-tech and low-tech solutions. Carefully selected materials ensure that the design will embody 40% less than typical construction, while natural ventilation and shading strategies reduce energy requirements. The roof is designed to feature solar panels to the south while remaining permeable on the northern side of the building, filtering the sunlight and allowing rain to reach the terraces. The faade is an arrangement of solar panels and glass angled to create optimal interior conditions. The harvest of solar energy will make the design almost energy-neutral.

Food and beverage services company Nestl will be the lead tenant for a new four-story office and retail building under construction in Rogers Pinnacle Hills area called The Visionary. Project officials and city leaders gathered at 3800 S. J.B. Hunt Drive across from Topgolf for a ceremonial groundbreaking on May 7.
A limited liability company controlled by Hunt Ventures in Rogers, led by billionaire developer and philanthropist Johnelle Hunt, is the property owner (3.18 acres) and building owner. Cushman & Wakefield/Sage Partners in Rogers will be the buildings property manager and leasing agent. Regions Bank is financing the construction.
Tom Allen, president of Cushman & Wakefield/Sage Partners, said the building will have approximately 195,000 square feet of leasable space. He represented the property owner in the Nestle lease. Wade Smith and Rick Kingery with Colliers Arkansas represented Nestl.
Crossland Construction is the builder, Core Architects is the design firm and Crafton Tull is the civil engineer. The construction is tentatively planned to be completed by the summer of 2026.
Allen said that most of the buildings leasable space, just under 160,000 square feet, will be on the top two floors. Nestl is leasing most of the fourth floor and, as the lead tenant, will have exterior signage on the building faade. The fourth floor will also include a dog park that is exclusive to Nestl for its pet food division.
The first two floors will have some leasable space for office or retail use but will primarily be a parking garage with 330 spaces. A handful of parking spaces will also be available along South J.B. Hunt Drive.
Other building amenities for tenants include a pickleball court and a large conference center.

A construction cost of nearly $40 million comes along with the office and retail buildings, while the parking garages will total over $52 million.
Gensler is the design firm listed on the associated filings submitted to the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation.
Fields West is using a three-sequence building process for the phase. The first sequence is set to start construction in July, while the above work marks the second sequence. The third is earmarked to commence next summer. Completion for all three sequences within the first phase of Fields West is set to occur between June 2026 and April 2027.
Earlier this week, Dallas-based Trammell Crow Company, a wholly owned subsidiary of CBRE Group, Inc., announced that it had joined the Fields West development to spearhead office opportunities across 47 acres.
The offices in the TDLR filings are not part of Trammell Crows new effort.
Fields Wests ownership includes Karahan Companies, Hunt Realty Investments, Chief Partners and Crosstie Capital.
Located at Dallas North Tollway and Panther Creek Parkway, the first phase of Fields West will span 365,000 square feet of open-air retail, restaurant and entertainment space, 1,200 residences, 375 hotel rooms and 325,000 square feet of office space.
The 2,500-acre Fields development already houses the headquarters for PGA of America and will eventually have a Universal Kids Resort.
Dallas City Council on Wednesday approved an increase to the minimum investment required for the Reimagine RedBird Mall Redevelopment Project.
Carrollton job losses are permanent, but Walmart said it believes many tech employees will relocate instead of being terminated.

The Minnesota Legislature is considering borrowing $8.5 million to renovate the pedestrian tunnel that connects the Capitol and the State Office Building which houses the offices of the 134 members of the House and some widely used committee rooms to make it compliant with the federal Americans with Disabilities Act.
The current slope has a grade of over 10.5%, which exceeds the ADAs permitted grade of 8.3%.
The Department of Administrations bonding request cites the tunnels steep slope, which makes traversing the Capitol campus virtually impossible for people with disabilities without a powered wheelchair, especially during the winter months.
This cost is on top of the $454 million Minnesota borrowed last year before interest to fund the State Office Buildings renovation, which is underway and scheduled to be completed in time for the start of the 2027 legislative session.
The tunnel renovation includes construction of a new 15-by-85 foot section adjacent to the existing tunnel. This new section will include an ADA-compliant slope and a new elevator that will assist pedestrians between the new ADA-compliant tunnel and the basement of the Capitol building.
In 2021, lawmakers created an account to fund the renovation of the State Office Building, but the statutory language did not include renovation of the tunnel. Therefore, the tunnel renovation needs to be approved separately.
House Majority Leader Jamie Long, DFL-Minneapolis, said it was probably an oversight for lawmakers to omit the tunnel from the State Office Building renovation.
Long said that his colleagues many times over the years had to push former Rep. Rod Hamilton, R-Mountain Lake, up the tunnels steep slope in his wheelchair so he could make it to the House chamber for votes.
Long also said hes invited family members to tour the State Office Building and the Capitol, but some had difficulty making it up the tunnels steep slope. They had to stop and catch their breath multiple times, he said.
It was a real barrier for them to be able to participate fully in what the Capitol complex has to offer, so I think it is a really key accessibility point to get into the Capitol building, Long said.
Wayne Waslaski, assistant commissioner with the Department of Administration, said renovating the tunnel now construction would begin in August aligns with completion of the State Office Building renovation.
The tunnel is currently closed, as its being rerouted to connect with the State Office Buildings new addition. Minnesota House members and the public must walk outside and cross the street to access the Capitol and vice versa.
In December 2022, former Rep. Kurt Daudt, R-Crown, during the committee hearing that gave final legislative approval to the State Office Building renovation, said he had helped push even motorized wheelchairs up the slope near the Capitol.
Then House Majority Leader Ryan Winkler during the hearing said that lawmakers tried to include the tunnel renovation in with the State Office Building project, but they were told it wasnt within the projects scope of authority.
I think it was an oversight of ours, probably, not to include (the tunnel) when we did the Capitol building, Daudt said during the hearing. The Capitol renovation was completed in 2017.
House Minority Leader Lisa Demuth, R-Cold Spring, recently referenced the $8.5 million renovation to the tunnel as another example of Democrats wasteful spending, arguing it should have been included in the State Office Building renovation.
