Adaptive Reuse

On top of the architectural and community value of preserving existing buildings, some of which are centuries old, adaptive reuse is a practical and sustainable building practice. It reduces the construction materials needed to transform a space and prolongs the building’s life, and can even create opportunities for much-needed affordable housing.

Delivering adaptive reuse and historic preservation projects for over 35 years, we are experts in this unique and varied project type. We understand their specialized requirements, and our team maintains a flexible, thoughtful, and creative attitude—necessary with these often-complicated projects. Early collaboration and assessment of the existing structure and site is crucial to project success.

Our ability to leverage in-house VDC capabilities and MEP staff allows for easier coordination and potential cost savings, as well as self-perform demolition capabilities in our Chicago region.
