1000 UNIVERSITY

The Challenge

1000 University was originally a manufacturing plant with a battery shop in the back lot. Suntide purchased the historic property with the intent to redevelop it into an office complex.

The Process

The entire property went through a complete overhaul. The parking lot was resurfaced and a 2-story glass entryway was constructed. The interior was gutted and office suites were constructed out of the existing spaces, many utilizing the property’s original timber beams and duct work.
