Hyundai released a rendering of its proposed new U.S. headquarters building in Fountain Valley, California, its U.S. base of operations for the past two decades.
Designed by Gensler, the building will be LEED-certified, targeting the gold level. The building design is sleek and modern, yet classic, and built on a structural pedestal foundation with floating translucent glass floors above.
The focal point of the building is its impressive two-story high entrance, which leads to an open-to-the sky public courtyard in the building's center.
A showroom of Hyundai vehicles will be visible from the freeway side of the new structure.
The new headquarters building will be approximately 419,000 sq. ft. and six stories high. A one-story, 50,000 sq.ft. technical services facility connects to the main building. An adjacent parking structure will also be built on the site.
