Price Chopper parent company completes first construction phase of new headquarters

SCHENECTADY, N.Y. Golub Corp. has completed the first phase of construction of its new office building, the operator of the Price Chopper supermarket chain has announced.

The company had its topping-off ceremony Friday morning at the site, called One Golub Center, in Schenectady, N.Y.

The six-story, 1,000-employee building will incorporate a number of sustainable features, including use of recycled materials in the steel and carpeting, daylight harvesting, raised flooring throughout the building that the company said will allow more efficient installation of electrical and HVAC components, rainwater harvesting for irrigation, fuel cells and energy management controls.

The company said the move of the headquarters will allow it to expand its warehouse in Rotterdam, N.Y., by 500,000 sq. ft.
