Centro da cidade

We have just purchased a 5-story building that is 10,000 sq ft per floor. It was built in the early 80's and is very well built however needs an exterior modernization.

It is a 45-year-old building which looks 45 years old and needs to be renovated to be a timeless fixture in the downtown for at least the next 45 years.

The building is in a very high traffic area for our city and is kitty corner from our city hall.

Notes added January 5, 2026:
-We do not have a revit of the original as we did not build the building and it was built in the 1980's. We are trying to get a copy from some previous renovation drafts. IF we do we cannot guarantee accuracy of measurements
-We have added the original drawings, note that they are for a 9 storey building, the developer decided to reduce the size.
-We are looking for exterior elevation ideas, not floor plate changes
-The main floor will likely house a restaurant and a retail tenant. The other floors currently have tenants

We would like to get some innovative ideas on how to change the look of it using new exterior coverings etc. as well as removing a few of the elements that make it look dated.

We plan to add a restaurant on the main floor with an outdoor patio space, likely covered.

We like the idea of a high-profile retailer on the main floor - street corner.

We would like to highlight a main entrance into the building by repositioning or creating visual interest as the main intersecting streets.

The sloped glass portions seem dated on the second-floor bump outs as well as the current entry canopies.

The chamfered top of the elevator core also dates the structure as well as the extensive brick without a mixed materiality facade.

We do not plan on removing many windows, other than the sloped glass. We could look at tinting windows to modernize the look.
