This challenging condominium conversion project in the Lakeview neighborhood transformed a former brick and concrete meat plant with an extensive refrigeration system into a complex of elegant loft style homes.

Several construction phases were required to achieve success with this intricate project. Partial selective demolition of the existing building and restoration of the remainder were the most ambitious aspects of the construction. The basement was also excavated and converted into a parking garage and a striking plaza style courtyard was created as an outdoor common area. Each of the development’s 15 residential units features its own unique floor plan and classic loft details such as hardwood flooring, exposed brick, and high ceilings.

George Court was successfully completed in May of 1998. By using concrete cast in place mixed with steel frame and masonry construction, the architect and engineers were able to integrate an old and new building into one appealing architectural landmark.
