rent, but the exterior looks visually dated and in need of renovation. The design goal is to revitalize the good bones of the building, and celebrate the beautiful natural stone that already exists. By re-visioning important architectural moves, utilizing premium building prod-ucts and incorporating top-of-the-line lighting techniques, the building will incorpo-rate new entry features and get a beautiful face-lift while maintaining the timeless look with modern elegance.
