  • Amenities floor with tanning room, fitness center and custom lounge area with upgraded finishes including glass block wall with color-changing LED lighting
  • Retail space and a parking garage addition

Key Challenges:

Historical aspect of the project required a combination of re-use, salvage and custom replacement of existing items, including perimeter windows, lobby and facade
Schedule challenges, including labor unrest, which were overcome in large part due to aggressively managed self-perform forces of metal stud, drywall, rough and finish carpentry, taping and painting
All low-voltage infrastructure design-built and self-performed by Leopardo
