This project consists of the renovation of 4,500 sf on the 3rd floor and 3rd floor mezzanine and loft levels as well as a new 3-story egress stair in a historic building. The work also included the replacement of 130’ of 8” water main and fire hydrant in D Street, SE, the installation of a new 4” fire service and sprinkler system on the 3rd floor and 3rd floor mezzanine, and associated site and street restoration.
