View Inc., a manufacturer of smart building technologies, announced that its Smart Windows have been selected for phase two of The Interlock, a $750 million mixed-use property being developed by SJC Ventures in the emerging West Midtown neighborhood of Atlanta, Georgia. The project is SJC Ventures’ second with View Smart Windows, following the successful installation at phase one of The Interlock, a walkable nearby nine-acre mixed-use project.
At phase two of The Interlock, View Smart Windows will enclose all offices, creating a healthier and more sustainable environment for occupants. The windows, which use artificial intelligence to automatically adjust in response to the sun, will maximize natural light and views of downtown West Midtown while ensuring thermal comfort and energy efficiency.
“The vibe at The Interlock is all about tech, sustainability and natural light. View doubles down on all of those attributes,” said Jeff Garrison, principal at SJC Ventures. “The tenant feedback and market reaction to the View installation at phase one were both so positive, it made including the technology in phase two an easy decision.”
Continuous access to daylight and views has been proven to deliver material health benefits to office workers. In one recent study, people working in an office with View Smart Windows experienced half as many headaches and slept 37 minutes longer each night compared to those working in a comparable office with standard windows and blinds. View Smart Windows also reduce energy consumption from lighting and HVAC by as much as 20%.
Phase two of The Interlock is slated to open in early 2024 and will offer 275,000 square feet of commercial space and 180,000 square feet of creative office space, plus 670 beds for Georgia Tech student housing.
