Whether you want your speculative, multi-tenant office building to say "lease me" or your new corporate headquarters to proclaim "we are good stewards of the environment," Stahl can be a valuable partner during the early stages of the building process. We cut our teeth building class-A office buildings for a national developer and have learned a few tricks along the way. We know what "works" in the way of building materials and systems, and how to help you get the best value for your money. Whatever your priority, in the end we guarantee a quality project that is cost-effective and affordable, and says exactly what you want it to say.
Wellington Management and Northwest Area Foundation hired Stahl to completely renovate and add onto the Drake Building, which was built in the early 1900s as a marble cutting and polishing plant in St. Paul, Minnesota. During renovation, special care was taken in order to maintain the building's distinctive historic character.
Stahl removed the building exterior and completely gutted the building, exposing the aging structure for inspection by engineers. Structural repairs were made and the entire building recladded. A massive and impressive atrium brings the common areas of all four floors together, surrounded with full-height butt-glazed glass.
Northwest Area Foundation's build-out utilized environmental-friendly materials and systems including recycled pine, rubber and carpet flooring materials; wood paneling made from reclaimed lumber; surfaces finished with low VOC paint; toilet partitions made from recycled plastic; fabrics featuring recycled content; indirect high-efficiency lighting; and multiple smaller rooftop HVAC units that target specific zones in the building resulting in energy savings.
The project was a finalist for the CityBusiness Best-in-Real-Estate award.
