Overstock Breaks Ground on New Headquarters
2014-11-01-Utah Business Magazine
Midvale – Overstock broke ground last week on its new corporate campus, which it is calling "Peace Coliseum." The company expects to open it during the summer of 2016. Overstock officials have said that from the ground level, the building will look like a corporate glass-and-concrete version of the Roman Coliseum, but from the air, the three-story building will appear as a peace sign.

The 231,000-square-foot office building will be located in the View 72 Corporate Center on 19 acres of land at 7295 S. Bingham Jct. Blvd. (approximately 930 W.) in Midvale. In addition to the central office building, the campus will include an amenities building, open green space and a parking structure. The estimated project cost is nearly $100 million.

The campus will have a cafe, fitness center, health clinic and daycare. Overstock is also considering an on-campus greenhouse.

"It's exciting to be at a point where we can build the Peace Coliseum to unite our employees," said Overstock President Stormy Simon. "It will be the coolest place to work ever."

The project’s developer is Gardner Company, the contractor is Okland Construction and the architect is EDA Architects Inc.

The building will be constructed to the U.S. Green Building Council's LEED Silver certification with the possibility of Gold. The building's heating and cooling system will use heat from the data center to heat the building in the winter.
