Fountain Valley, Ca. – Hyundai Motor America, has moved into their $200 million U.S. headquarters complex just off the San Diego Freeway in Fountain Valley. The new headquarters represents the largest investment in an office building ever made in the U.S. by Hyundai Motor Company. Hyundai sold 703,000 cars in the U.S. in 2012 and has outgrown the Fountain Valley facility it moved into move than 20 years ago. They demolished its old building and spent over $200 million on a new facility that will more than double its size to 500,000 square feet and incorporate beautiful architectural interest.

Architectural Design

Designed by global architectural firm Gensler, the building is sleek and modern, yet classic in its design, with translucent glass office floors floating over a precast concrete base, and exterior perimeter glass panels.  Rather than using ordinary reflective glass, Hyundai is using custom-designed large insulated glass panels that are specially glazed to provide optimal energy efficiency, as well as exceptional visual clarity from both inside and outside the building.  This design is part of Hyundai’s goal to achieve gold-level LEED-certification for its new headquarters.  Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) is an internationally recognized green building certification process assessing the sustainability of a building’s design, construction and operations.
