Construction

Originally an open arcade patterned after

those in Italy

Architecture is Renaissance Revival Style

Reinforced concrete floors

Originally open aired, but eventually fully

enclosed by mid twentieth century

Basement

Once housed, “Columbia Down Under” –

similar to Atlanta’s Underground Atlanta

Hosted series of bars, shops, and food that

operated during the early 70s

Eventually succumbed to suburbanization

which plagued the businesses located above

Currently unused

Zoning

It is zoned for commercial development

After speaking with the realtor though, he

believed through appeals it would be able to

be made into a boutique hotel or micro-lofts

Our Vision

Middle level: High End Restaurant and Lounge

Restaurant Name: 1912

Surf and Turf Menu

Upscale

Large Wine List

Upstairs: Office and Retail

Keep Current Use, with Tenant Revamp

Renderings

Main Floor Renovations

Busting down interior walls to create restaurant

because we cannot touch original marble

Overhaul of men's and women's bathrooms on

the floor

Update elevator to ensure safety under heavy

use

Install kitchen and use back alley for waste

disposal and outputs

Main Level Bar

Main Level Restaurant

Basement

Basement: Recreational Bar

Called “The Bar Downstairs”

Will feature a full bar, and recreation

games

Renderings

Basement Renovations

Downstairs is going to pose the biggest

challenge

Needs complete overhaul of piping and flooring

that operate the whole building

The challenge is to reroute all utilities along walls

instead of in the middle of the room.

Key is maintaining buildings original structure

while redeveloping area

Clean out and remove debris left from previous

tenants

Other Possible Ideas

Boutique Hotel

Rooms on the first and second floor

Utilities and services ran out of the basement

A 20 Room Hotel

Micro-lofts w/ Retail

10 upscale lofts on the second floor

Retail on the main floor

Bar underneath in the basement

Other Possible Ideas

Boutique Hotel

We decided against this idea due to the heavy

presence of hotels in the area

Micro-lofts

We decided against this because of the long

appeals process and the fact that housing and

hotels are readily present in close proximity
