Mixed Use Office Building

Located between the Little Caesars Arena and Wayne State University’s Mike Ilitch School of Business, this five-story building features a mix of retail and restaurant spaces on the first floor, with several office spaces on the second through fifth floors.

The joint venture team of Christman and L.S. Brinker partnered with the owner in the early stages of the project, supporting them through a shift in the design team and collaborating on roughly 25 exterior facade iterations and various budget exercises within the first 12 months.

The team used Building Information Modeling (BIM) to pre-plan and coordinate all the mechanical, electrical and plumbing trades. This has allowed for each trade to seamlessly install their systems. A true team effort, all project team members worked together to ensure the project goals were achieved. Despite numerous changes to the design and floor plans, the project team was able to maintain the overall construction schedule and work through nearly $4 million in scope changes.
