Anchor Tenant: Ogilvy & Mather
This former Studebaker dealership (c. 1925) had been converted into a restaurant in 1990 and then sat vacant for several years before we bought it in 2006. We immediately changed the building’s use to creative-style office, located all new tenants, undertook major exterior renovations and completed all interior custom upfits.
