The single story, 38,000 SF building accommodates 68 residents. The facility is designed and constructed to give occupants a high-end experience. Dining facilities, a bistro, community areas, an ice cream parlor, a salon, and two enclosed courtyards all work to sustaining the community resort atmosphere, while discrete nurse call stations and building security provide support and safety for the residents.
Poet’s Walk of Leesburg was awarded an Excellence in Construction Award in the Institutional (Under $10 Million) category. Congratulations to Silver Companies and LRS Architects.
540 Redlands is a building repositioning that included upgrades to the lobby, glass storefront, lighting, elevator cabs, conference center and the introduction of a new fitness center and interactive lounge with gas fire place.
Most dramatic change to the building was the reorientation of the entrance. L.F. Jennings sealed the existing entrances to the building and cut a new central vestibule in the existing feature curtain wall. This new entrance provided the building with a more prominent presence within the corporate development improving the sense of place of the central plaza and circulation to office building.
540 Redlands was awarded and Excellence in Construction Award in the Commercial/Residential Renovation ($2-$4 Million) category. Congratulations to DCS Design and Charlie Smiroldo formerly of First Potomac.
