_ The Landmark

Wausau, Wisconsin

Designer: Gorman & Company

Contractor: Gorman General Contractors, LLC

One of Wausau, Wisconsin’s most historic structures has been renovated, modernizing its affordable units while preserving its historical features. The Landmark now features 94 updated affordable one- and two-bedroom units accommodating present-day tenants while preserving the historic integrity of this well-built property. The building, an integral part of the downtown area, will help address the housing crisis. The building was originally known as the Hotel Wausau when it was constructed in 1924. Marie and Ray Goldbach bought and renamed the property The Landmark in 1963, remodeling it to include 92 apartments and 18 office spaces. Gorman & Company purchased the property from realtor Jack Williams in 2020.

Lincoln Plaza }

Langhorne, Pennsylvania

Designer: CREATE Architecture Planning and Design pllc

Contractor: A&E Construction Co.; JH Greene

Paramount Realty acquired Lincoln Plaza in late 2020 with the belief that being the dominant center in any given market requires delivering the best of experiences to its patrons and the community it serves. While the tenants performed well at the time of acquisition, there was still some vacancy to fill and untapped potential in shuffling around some tenants to make room for a new grocery anchor. The center also looked and felt like it belonged in the 1980’s. The design team helped transform the shopping center into a truly special and unique asset— one that has since drawn the attention of new retailers, including Amazon Fresh, ULTA, Honeygrow and Smoothie King.

The attention to craftsmanship and detail in every room allows for an open interaction between each public space. The apartments have a true feeling of seaside tranquility. The design aims to create a welcoming space fueled by a sense of directionality.
