History

Originally planned as the first two buildings of a four-building complex [3] at the northwest end of Lake Tappan, Blue Hill Plaza was designed by notable modernist architectural firm Skidmore, Owings & Merrill. Completed in 1972, it was one of the last projects built by Uris Buildings Corporation of New York City. [3]

It borders Bergen County, New Jersey, an NYC suburb and home to numerous corporate headquarters.

Sustainability

In 2008, Blue Hill Plaza received the Rockland Recycles Award, and the Rockland County Distinguished Service Award for its recycling strategies that reduce the amount of waste sent to landfills, while also reducing costs. [5] The recycling program has 100 percent tenant participation and has reduced solid waste disposed by the complex by 40 percent since inception, with an estimated accumulated savings of $250,000. [5] Blue Hill Plaza has diverted over 9,300 tons of cardboard, over 2,100 tons of mixed papers, and over 40 tons of bottles, cans, and plastics.

Telecom and power

Blue Hill Plaza features redundant fiber optic. There is fiber available from two central offices, entering two separate telephone equipment rooms within the site.

There are two 69,000-volt underground feeders from a substation located in Montvale, New Jersey, to an Orange & Rockland substation, dedicated solely to Blue Hill Plaza, located on-site in the parking lot. The two transmission lines from Montvale are encased separately in concrete. From Blue Hill Plaza's on-site substation, which is maintained by Orange & Rockland (an anchor tenant whose corporate offices reside at Blue Hill), there are two 13,200-volt underground feeders that power the substations within the building. In both cases, one feeder can carry the building load. (This does not include the data center power)

There are two 20 MW (Megawatt) transformers. Additional 40MW can become available) The Montvale substation has three separate feeders coming from two locations within Rockland County and one from New Jersey.

In addition, there are two separate transformer banks at the Montvale substation that both can support Blue Hill Plaza's building load if needed. Besides the normal two feeds from the NY ISO, there is also a PJM interconnect that is utilized by O & R to supply their New Jersey–based customers and could be utilized to feed Blue Hill Plaza if necessary.

There is an additional 2,000 amps at 480 volts readily available. There is an additional 8,000 amps that could be available with the installation of additional gear. [6]
