This space is tastefully furnished with many fine products from overseas as well as from local custom furniture fabricators ranging from special size sofas to uniquely patterned & sized woven rugs. In the Showcase Area, prospective tenants & investors may sit in custom leather banquettes to view various presentations about the ongoing development projects in One Penn and the Penn district.

After a meticulous bid process, Arenson was awarded the furniture and installation portion of this project due to their outstanding record, proposed team, and marketing support for Dattner. As of November 2020, this 25,000 sqft is completely furnished and open to its members. Arenson provided the space with ancillary furniture for small breakout spaces, large meeting rooms, and private offices. These products include reading chairs, coffee, laptop, side and end tables. One of the feature pieces included in this project, which included collaborating with the designers, electricians and lighting company, was 8’-12’ Knoll Library tables with specific lighting. To properly install these tables, Arenson created separate installation and shop drawings to ensure the aftermarket field cuts would not impede with the substructure of the reading tables.
