Utilizing the original shoe making
facility for the Florsheim Shoe Company, “Metropolitan Place” consists
of the conversion of the existing six story two way concrete flat slab
structure to condominium use, with the excess floor capacity (from the
previous manufacturing operation) allowing for the addition of four
residential floors.
The existing loading docks and lower
levels were reconfigured to accommodate the required condominium and
retail parking; including the construction of a new concrete parking
mezzanine.
The vertical expansion is constructed of
steel beams and columns with open web steel joists. The new steel columns
were set directly over the existing concrete columns in order to transfer
vertical and lateral loads into the main structure beneath.
