This historic adaptive reuse project in downtown Norfolk involved the conversion of a 48,726 SF former department store, built in 1910, into a collaborative office space.
The iconic building now serves as a campus for creators and technology innovators in downtown Norfolk. Our team restored the historic building’s inherent character while altering its use to meet modern needs to create a one-of-a-kind office space. The building now boasts dedicated tenant studio spaces, gathering 2024 European Cup official websiteplaces, casual work areas, and even a rooftop deck, connected by a central stair and light-filled atrium.
