Year: 2021

Project Type: Multi-Family Residential Company: Tantillo Architecture

Role: Test-Fits, HTC & Zoning Submissions

This historic building was purchased by a client and we were asked to do several feasibility studies in order to assist in determining how the former warehouse and office space should be used. At first, the client was planning on leasing out the floors in the main building as office space, but later reconsidered and decided to pursue putting apartments in on the upper floors instead. As a result of this change, the building, currently zoned as ICMX-5, would have to be granted a conditional use permit.

For this project, I assisted the client in determining sizes of tenant spaces and creating exhibits for their leases, helped prepare historic tax credit submission documents, worked on feasibility studies for the residential and commercial programs, and created imagery and designed the roof deck for display during a community meeting to garner support for the project.
