The renovation focused on the second and third levels, converting existing space into high-end units known as the Collin, Abbigail, Coleman, Gracie, and Brady suites. To honor the building's heritage, TriCon worked diligently to meet all historical zoning standards. We preserved a significant portion of the original architecture and structural details, ensuring the character of the building remained the focal point of the design.
“Tricon Builders truly stands out for their exceptional attention to detail and consistent communication throughout the entire project. From the very first call to the final walkthrough, their care, passion, and responsiveness were always evident. They genuinely care about both the client and the success of the project.”

This project required a strategic, phased approach to accommodate a complex environment.
Tenant Continuity: We successfully managed the entire construction process while the existing ground-floor business remained fully operational and open to the public.
Safety and Compliance: Our team worked in close coordination with the State Fire Marshal’s office to ensure every aspect of the multi-level conversion met rigorous safety and building codes.
Heritage Craftsmanship: By blending modern luxury with historic preservation, TriCon has helped revitalize this downtown landmark for a new generation of visitors.
The Downtown Post represents TriCon’s ability to execute high-stakes renovations within sensitive environments. From navigating the requirements of the State Fire Marshal to protecting the daily operations of existing tenants, we deliver results that respect the past and build for the future.
