VBG renovated a 40 year old bank building to make it suitable for a retail use. By adding a a new hip roof element we drew out front elevation. Maintaining the brick exterior on the first floor allowed us to update and modernize the design while keeping the original charm. Modernizations incl ude updated energy efficient electrical and mechanical systems, elevator, aluminum storefronts, metal roofing, and site work. We were able to add square footage by filling in the second floor mezzanine with lightweight concrete over metal decking. Remodeling an existing building presented more challenging aspects such as asbestos and lead paint remediation, concrete vault demolition, and shoring of new openings and second floor. VBG was able to deliver the project under budget by self performing multiple trades.
