Vote today to decide the winners in AIA Chicago Lerch Bates Inc. People's Choice Awards! Public voting is open through tomorrow, August 28th. Hotel 1928 is a finalist in the Hospitality/Retail category. Once home to the Karem Shriners, HPA transformed it into a boutique hotel with F&B and event spaces on behalf of clients AJ Capital Partners and Magnolia. This adaptive reuse project merges history with modern design, adding another vibrant attraction to Waco's Downtown Historic District. https://lnkd.in/gHvirYmy

Crescent Heights' plan to redevelop 3100 Wilshire Boulevard in L.A.'s Koreatown is clear to proceed. HPA's design of a 34-story mixed-use apartment tower incorporates portions of an existing 1930s commercial building, and compliments the datums and Art Deco detailing of the adjacent, historic Bullocks Wilshire building. The transit-oriented development is located by the Wilshire/Vermont subway station and multiple bus lines, and will also include on-site affordable housing. https://lnkd.in/gwCT9pab

The iconic blue arched doors of 420 Julia St. in New Orleans now grace the entrance to the Common House social club. HPA is delighted to collaborate with Common House and AJ Capital Partners to renovate and expand the circa 1840's building, which most recently served as the Louisiana Children's Museum, into a 20,000 SF club with a social hall, restaurant, rooftop pool, fitness center and venue space. Original features, such as wood beams, exposed brick walls and the historic facade, were preserved. A new construction addition houses @Memoir Residential's Warehouse District, a hospitality-focused multifamily development with residential apartments and apartment-style hotel rooms. https://lnkd.in/gmjMJt83
