Virtually Staged. More than an office building, 1255 N Vantage Point Drive is a purpose-designed 11,369-square-foot Mid-Century Modern corporate campus where architecture, landscape, and workplace were conceived as a single environment. Designed by Hal Thomas Reid Associates, P.A. and completed in 1984, the property occupies 1.88 acres in Meadowcrest and is organized as four individual office pavilions positioned around a landscaped central court. The site is supported by 42 parking spaces across three parking areas, providing approximately 3.7 spaces per 1,000 square feet, together with public water and sewer service. The four square pavilions are set on the diagonal and interconnected to create a cohesive headquarters environment while allowing individual departments to maintain their own identity and separation. One pavilion was designed around a dedicated computer room with raised access flooring and dedicated cooling, surrounded by programming workspace and an adjoining secure vault. Another contains a purpose-built training suite with classroom, projection room, library, and lounge. The campus also includes a dedicated conference room, executive offices, accounting and marketing areas, open workspace, and men's and women's facilities with locker and shower areas.
