Retrofitting a Beaux Arts icon
The retrofit of this iconic Cleveland landmark required careful balancing of historic character and green improvements.
Problem
The retrofit of Terminal Tower, a 52-story, 577,000 square foot Beaux-Arts building in downtown Cleveland, required close collaboration with the project team to identify and implement a well-tuned package of improvements. The project targeted compliance with the Cleveland Green tax abatement program and aimed to earn historic tax credits. This required a careful balance between maintaining the building’s historic character while prioritizing high-impact interventions to achieve the requisite green improvements.
