Vacant for a generation, the Zollingers Building is a nationally-registered historic structure. The former wholesale warehouse was built with poured-in-place concrete and lays out well for conversion to mixed-use. However, the fenestration is small by today’s standards. The east façade, facing the river, is a blank party wall.
OUR RESPONSE
The building’s repositioning adds a contemporary, three-story addition that re-orients the main entry towards the river, increasing daylight while negotiating a change in grade.
The Results
The project’s financing is enabled through a wide variety of state and federal subsidies.
