We joke that a lot of new trends looks like "pinterest threw up all over" , i.e mixing up all different fake reclaimed woods and DIY fads can be overkill. We love to honor the old buildings and their character without faking anything.

Nope not our style. We have done a pizza restaurant www.LibertyHallPizza.com , it was rated top 20 in NJ and the design turned out perfectly.

It can be challenging to meet all of the new codes in old buildings, however, most of these codes are for life and safety issues so they are important and worth the challenge to meet. We love old signs and artifacts and always find them in the buildings. There is not one thing in particular that we found that stands out, however, over all we love all the old painted fire doors that we try to reuse.

I wish! Nothing to exciting. Maybe a crawl space or two that we didnt know was there. At one building we did kind of find ( maybe forgot about) a 2nd floor portion that didnt have any stairs going up to it. We have remodeled it to be a Jean Prouve Demountable house inspired space.

2-5 years on average. The challenge is filling the renovations with the right mix of tenants / company 's. The dream is to have a building with mixed uses so you dont have to leave during the work day, i.e a building with a printing company, law fir , coffee shop, restaurant, marketing company, etc. If all the companies can thrive in a creative atmosphere working together thats a win win for everyone but it can take time to accomplish this.
