Now known as the Broderick Tower, it has been revitalized into residential suites.<\/p>\n<p>After several changes in its ownership, the landmark was eventually left vacant in the 1980s, making it one of the tallest abandoned buildings in the country.<\/p>\n<p>In 2011, the structure\u2019s revitalization began, converting it into a residential building with 124 apartments, office, and commercial space. The $53-million, 18,580-m<sup>2<\/sup> (200,000-sf) restoration project was funded by the building\u2019s new owner Motown Construction Partners LLC; and the design team included JC Beal Construction and Kraemer Design Group.<\/p>\n<p>Construction began in March 2011 and the opening was in October 2012. Shortly after construction finished, all 124 apartments had been spoken for, ranging in size from approximately 29 m<sup>2<\/sup> (300 sf) to more than 204 m<sup>2<\/sup> (2200 sf).<\/p>\n<p>Kraemer\u2019s Brian Rebain explains that while many of the building\u2019s existing masonry fa\u00e7ade materials were able to be used, a portion of the decorative cast iron detailing was not. In the areas where the material was corroded, new trim was installed to match the existing design.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe created molds utilizing the existing cast iron details, and cast new replica details out of composite polyurethane materials for a seamless repair job,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, the skyscraper\u2019s exterior included limestone in need of repair. The damaged areas\u2014including two corners where large pieces had fallen during the projects preliminary inspections\u2014were retrofitted with a remedial pinning and tying system that re-joined, stabilized, and reinforced the existing material.<\/p>\n<p>This installation was concealed within the existing materials, which allowed the building to retain its historic appearance while also cut down on construction time as a complete rebuild was not necessary.<\/p>\n<p>Many of the historic window assemblies were also replicated and replaced while energy-efficient, thermally broken aluminum windows were installed throughout the Tower, maintaining the views of the cityscape.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_14206\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-14206\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.constructionspecifier.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/DSC01764h.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-14206\" src=\"http:\/\/www.constructionspecifier.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/DSC01764h-300x204.jpg\" alt=\"The historic tower now includes 124 residential units ranging in size from approximately 29 m2 (300 sf) to more than 204 m2 (2200 sf).
