Brooklyn & Church

Brooklyn & Church is Charlotte’s first office-to-mixed-use conversion, transforming the old Duke Energy headquarters into 460 loft-style apartments with amenity-rich residences, ground-floor retail, and a new three-story retail building at the front of the site.  The apartments will feature expansive windows, oversized balconies, along with rooftop amenities including a gym, coworking space, pet run, and spa.  The existing underground parking garage will remain, offering 500 spaces for residents.  In addition, a 60-foot walkway will improve walkability for pedestrian traffic between the residential and retail portions of the site.

The 13-story tower’s core and shell will be preserved, and the façade will be updated with new windows and large balconies.  The buildings form an L-shape and are being structurally treated as a single entity, connected via an expansion joint.   Building enclosure consulting services were also provided for the selection and design of the new building enclosure materials, components, systems, and assemblies for the proposed office building conversion, plaza reconfiguration, and new construction.
