Sitting vacant for over 25 years, the Addis Building suffered severe deterioration and water damage.  BBL was selected to renovate the five story steel framed building located in the historic district of downtown Syracuse.  While preserving historical characteristics, the former clothing department store has been transformed into a mix of apartments, office, and retail space. 

The project first involved making the building watertight by installing a new roof system to prevent further deterioration. Some other significant components include preserving the Art Deco style cast stone façade, restoring exterior marble panels between windows, and restoring terrazzo floors throughout the building.
