Gilbane Building Company, along with B+H Architects/Spina O’Rourke, has been contracted to provide preconstruction and construction management at-risk services for the 111 Olive Avenue project. Owned by Brand Atlantic Real Estate Partners in partnership with Wheelock Street Capital, this three-story building was originally constructed in 1936 and is registered as a national historic landmark.
“We are excited to have been chosen for this special project. Historical renovations come with multiple challenges. Our team of experts are prepared and look forward to seeing the final product that we know the local community will be proud of,” said Tom Thrasher, Gilbane’s Florida business unit leader.
Located at the critical corner of Clematis Street and North Olive Avenue in downtown West Palm Beach, the adaptive reuse of the historic John Volk-designed building will include 27,000 square feet of boutique office space, featuring 14-foot floor to ceiling heights and original Florida-Dade Pine finishes, and 15,000 square feet of elevated food- and beverage-focused retail space.
The project presents front-door convenience to West Palm’s local restaurants, sidewalk cafes and nightlife on Clematis Street; efficient floor plans; and an array of base building amenities and dining options to meet the modern needs of tenants.
