Building Renovations
Downtown has seen an investment of tens of millions of dollars in over six million sq. ft. of adaptive reuse real estate inventory from turn of the century structures to late 20th century office towers, cultivating a premiere, first-class, work environment for multiple industries. In addition to these classic edifices, new developments in the pipeline will expand this robust offering of diverse real estate options.
