ARCAT Detailed Podcast Episode: Mixed-use Adapted Reuse | 6 Corners Lofts

“This ambitious project showcases the principles of adaptive reuse. The building’s evolution from a retail giant to a 206-unit residential complex, with a ground floor Target store, highlights a commitment to sustainable design,” says Cherise Lakeside, FCSI, CDT, host of ARCAT’s podcast Detailed, in her interview with Principal Jooyeol Oh about 6 Corners Lofts.

Jooyeol Oh continues his description of the project, “The primary goal of the client and community was really preserving the character and history of the building…This presented both a limitation and an opportunity to reimagine the building into a residential mixed-use building, and we were really excited about it. With its incredible bones and unique potential, we wanted to create a mixed-use building that could be distinctive and appealing to the residents and neighbors. The process was more challenging, as opposed to a ground-up brand new build, but it made the process all the more rewarding.”
