2500 J Street

This project involved renovation of a 10,300 square foot laboratory building into a mixed-use space, with retail on the ground floor and office space above. The project goal was to maximize the building's retail presence, keeping it consistent with the friendly, easy character of its midtown neighborhood.

The new glass storefronts along J Street are set along an angle defining the retail space. A red triangular wall at each entry connects visually with the yellow triangular trusses jutting out from the second story for signage and exterior lighting.

The second floor is devoted to office space and has a special entrance on 25th street designed with large windows repeating the triangular pattern. In addition, the business stairwell is well illuminated by windows creating a welcoming airy entrance.

Electrical and HVAC systems were completely renovated throughout the building including building service.

Components of the structural lateral system were modified to accommodate the increase in storefront retail, allowing more access to storefront windows and street views.

The design added a colorful component to the street and quickly gained attention of retailers. The building was completely leased within two months of completion.
