These construction services are offered to our customers for their projects that are remodeled, repositioned in the market, altered from one use to another or restored to a former use. Depending on customer goals, the building may retain a portion of the existing architectural elements. At times, these methods are more efficient and can possibly expedite the entitlement process to redevelop existing buildings that lie near the urban core or secure historic tax credits for buildings where this may apply. At the end of the day, value add, adaptive reuse and historic restoration are all about “smart growth.”

Thomas Jefferson Tower
1 of 10
Completed in the middle of the Great Depression, the Thomas Jefferson was once considered among the finest Southern hotels. In its glory days, the TJ hosted politicians and celebrities alike, including Frank Sinatra and legendary Alabama Coach Bear Bryant.
We repurposed the building into 96 apartments, a cornerstone for development at the west end of Birmingham’s Central Business District. Intricate terra cotta ceilings, ornate marble and fine Italian Renaissance style were restored to their former beauty, adding ground floor retail, second-floor dining/event space and residences to the downtown mix. Historic tax credits and a little elbow grease made this landmark adaptive reuse project possible.
