In
September 1999, Hurricane Floyd completely flooded the exiting Portsmouth
Social Services building, which caused the City of Portsmouth, VA to
relocate 100’s of city employees. This unforeseen event greatly
strained the city’s ability to provide quality services to the
Department of Social Services and Health clients. Working on an aggressive
schedule, the City of Portsmouth, VA sought out qualified developers
to design, develop, finance and deliver a 130,000 square foot facility
to support the Department of Social Services and Health.
From both local and national development firms considered, Ellis-Gibson
was competitively selected to develop the City of Portsmouth’s
Social Services and Health facility due to our unique ability to: (1)
create a financial structure that would comply with the City’s
current fiscal year budget and remain in budget for the life of the
facility; (2) guarantee project completion on time; and (3) provide
a fair and reasonable price to the City of Portsmouth, VA.
Ellis-Gibson successfully completed the development of the Department
of Social Services and Health building located at 1701 High St. on
time and within budget. This 130,000 square foot facility is the city’s
largest municipal building and it offers convenient “one-stop
service” to all of the City’s Department of Social Services
and Health clients.
