Trace Lofts

Situated at the corner of East Madison and 12th, this development was the renovation of the Trace Warehouse combined with a new, modern development that abuts the older structure. Trace Lofts, the warehouse conversion, consisted of 42 condominiums with street-level retail. The original unreinforced masonry was three stories and a basement with a timber-framed roof and floors. The redevelopment added two additional levels to the roof and relocated several columns in the basement to accommodate parking. The building was seismically retrofitted using steel-bracing frames on each side of the triangular shaped structure. Trace North, the new building, contains 100 condos as well as ground-floor retail. The building consists of five stories of wood framed residential units over one level of concrete retail space and two below-grade levels of parking. Both buildings are certified Built Green.
