A well-known three-story office building in downtown Scottsdale may soon be subject to a major renovation.
The structure, built in the late 1980s, is located at the intersection of N. Scottsdale Road and E. Indian School Road in a neighborhood lined with multi-story office space.
Real estate investment firm Mass Equities, based in Santa Monica, California, wants to completely redesign the building, adding a three-story atrium connecting the structure’s two wings.
Plans also call for getting rid of the building’s brick façade and replacing it with a window wall.
The idea behind the renovation, as designed by the Phoenix-based Krause Architecture and Interiors, is to give a new look to a building that is currently around 20% leased.
Additional plans call for the installation of a public art feature at the corner of the site.
The redesign project is currently being reviewed by the City of Scottsdale. If all goes well, work could begin later this year or early next year with a mid-2022 completion date.
Built as Class A office space, the 166,000 square foot structure last underwent a renovation nearly a decade ago.
