Construction
Originally an open arcade patterned after
those in Italy
Architecture is Renaissance Revival Style
Reinforced concrete floors
Originally open aired, but eventually fully
enclosed by mid twentieth century
Basement
Once housed, “Columbia Down Under” –
similar to Atlanta’s Underground Atlanta
Hosted series of bars, shops, and food that
operated during the early 70s
Eventually succumbed to suburbanization
which plagued the businesses located above
Currently unused

Zoning
It is zoned for commercial development
After speaking with the realtor though, he
believed through appeals it would be able to
be made into a boutique hotel or micro-lofts
Our Vision
Middle level: High End Restaurant and Lounge
Restaurant Name: 1912
Surf and Turf Menu
Upscale
Large Wine List
Upstairs: Office and Retail
Keep Current Use, with Tenant Revamp
Renderings
Main Floor Renovations
Busting down interior walls to create restaurant
because we cannot touch original marble
Overhaul of men's and women's bathrooms on
the floor
Update elevator to ensure safety under heavy
use
Install kitchen and use back alley for waste
disposal and outputs
Main Level Bar
Main Level Restaurant
Basement
Basement: Recreational Bar
Called “The Bar Downstairs”
Will feature a full bar, and recreation
games
Renderings
Basement Renovations
Downstairs is going to pose the biggest
challenge
Needs complete overhaul of piping and flooring
that operate the whole building
The challenge is to reroute all utilities along walls
instead of in the middle of the room.
Key is maintaining buildings original structure
while redeveloping area
Clean out and remove debris left from previous
tenants

Other Possible Ideas
Boutique Hotel
Rooms on the first and second floor
Utilities and services ran out of the basement
A 20 Room Hotel
Micro-lofts w/ Retail
10 upscale lofts on the second floor
Retail on the main floor
Bar underneath in the basement
Other Possible Ideas
Boutique Hotel
We decided against this idea due to the heavy
presence of hotels in the area
Micro-lofts
We decided against this because of the long
appeals process and the fact that housing and
hotels are readily present in close proximity
