<p>&nbsp;  <br /><img alt=\"Tudor Loft  Exterior\" class=\"image-left\" height=\"173\" src=\"/images/uploads/Tudor-Loft-Exterior.jpg\" style=\"float: left;\" width=\"260\" />Paric Corporation was the design/build general contractor on the $16 million, 104,820-square-foot project, which was completed within budget and more than two months ahead of schedule.&nbsp; Paric rebuilt the interior of the former Wrought Iron Range Company building, which had been vacant for almost 20 years, into 64 residential loft units and 14 street-level retail spaces.&nbsp; <br /><br />Lofts feature original brick interior walls, polished concrete floors, upgraded kitchen appliances, clean urban lines and lots of light from skylights and sun tunnels.&nbsp; Retail spaces feature tin ceilings that can be seen from the street through the clerestory windows along the renovated Washington Avenue streetscape.<br /><br />The two-story structure&rsquo;s distinctive stucco and Tudor-style exterior was carefully restored and the clay tile roof was replaced . Historic elements were salvaged and reused when possible and architectural elements were field-fabricated to match existing historic woodwork.&nbsp; The dormers on the front of the building were removed and replaced to protect them during the renovation process.<br /><br />Additional structural and environmental improvements include a new roof, new footings on the first floor and environmental remediation.&nbsp; Careful restoration and remediation helped the project earn both historic tax credits and Brownfields tax incentives.<br /><br />Developers were Tudor Development LP and Tudor Retail Partners LLC. Joining Paric on the project team were Klitzing Welsch Associates, Inc., Poehlman &amp; Prost, KPFF, Bell Electrical Contractors, Degenhardt Heating and Cooling, Franklin Mechanical, and Fire Protection Systems. Environmental Operations, Inc. handled the environmental remediation.&nbsp;</p>";s:10:"category_0";s:1:"4";}
