Aeon Nexus

EDC Warren County

Aeon Nexus Corporation, headquartered in Washington DC, is technology based consulting firm providing procurement/spend management services. The company needed a branch location in the northeast U.S. capable of meeting rigorous telecom and IT requirements, to service its multi-national clients and capture new business in the Northeast. The company wanted to locate in a smaller metro area that would provide affordability and easy access to key northeast markets; while delivering a high quality of life for relocating executives and to attract key “knowledge worker” talent in the future.

Project Need(s)
Through key contacts, EDC met with key company executives to promote a Glens Falls location. This proved successful and the company purchased a 6,600 SF (plus basement) historic building in downtown Glens Falls for its Northeast location. The building, a former office supply company site, needed extensive renovations to accommodate Aeon Nexus” technology infrastructure needs as to fuction as a ”high tech” regional hub for their business.

Project Solution
EDC Warren County worked in conjunction with economic partners to deliver a mix of incentives including Empire Zone program incentives, and grants from New York State and National Grid. Aeon Nexus purchased the three-story building and began renovations. The renovations included finishing the upper two floors as Class A space for the company; finishing the ground floor for future retail or office space; and renovating the lower level into a unique club known as the Gryphon Room, for corporate meetings, employee gatherings, and social events and the community at large. In total, Aeon Nexus invested over $800,000 into the building which is now a showcase location in downtown Glens Falls. Aeon Nexus, incorporated historic elements of the existing structure into a state of the art design that provides enanced telecom, security and IT infrastructure.
