Marquette Plaza |
In 2019 Marquette Plaza in Minneapolis received a number of updates to it's main lobby, amenity space, and a set of speculative office suites in it's iconic tower. The project aimed to modernize the building and enhance its appeal to contemporary tenants. Key elements of the renovation included updating the building's common areas, improving the street-level presence, and incorporating new amenities such as collaborative workspaces and fitness center. The design focused on creating a more vibrant and engaging environment, enhancing the building's functionality and aesthetic appeal, while also maintaining its historic significance. The renovation successfully transformed Marquette Plaza into a more dynamic and attractive location for businesses and their employees.

ADAPTIVE REUSE
"Sustainability
Fun fact: A new energy-efficient building can take 10 to 80 years to overcome the environmental impact of its own construction process. Think of buildings as very large manufactured goods; prolonging the lifespan of existing structures is a sustainable strategy that’s becoming a necessity as the world population grows more urbanized. On a broad scale, adaptive reuse brings the world closer to reaching net-zero carbon goals because it addresses carbon burdens that already exist in the built environment.
Financial
Beyond the primary savings that come with reusing existing materials and infrastructure and avoiding demolition and new-construction costs, adaptive-reuse projects tend to have low acquisition costs and often have access to financing incentives. Well-planned adaptive-reuse projects can revitalize the businesses around them and restore economic confidence in a region.
Social
Bringing dilapidated buildings back to life revitalizes neighborhoods by providing affordable housing, increasing public safety, and offering new commercial opportunities in mixed-use spaces. These spaces are also ideal for small businesses, thanks to low lease costs and central locations, making it easier to establish important relationships with customers and neighbors."
