Tomlinson Hall Comes Full Circle In CWRU’s bicentennial year, the historic student union returns to its roots Story & photos by Scott Esterly

ore than 75 years after Tomlinson Hall was built as a student union for the Case Institute of Technology, the historic building along Martin Luther King Jr. Drive at Case Western Reserve University (CWRU) is returning to its roots. A recently completed renovation has transformed the main level into a marketplace and gathering space, creating a place for students and faculty to gather, similar to the experience offered at the Tinkham Veale University Center. The $3.5 million project converted 5,500 square feet of former office, meeting and informal student space into an area with expanded seating and several new food concepts. The renovation was shaped around how students were already using Tomlinson Hall and how the university hoped the building could better serve this portion of campus.

Campus momentum

CWRU had a clear picture of what students wanted from the new marketplace. “We do a dining survey twice a year and we always ask what they’d like to see,” says Jason Kimball, CWRU’s assistant director of dining services. “A lot of those were mentioned in the surveys year after year.”

“We have had dining on the quad here,” he adds. “We were looking to try to make it more efficient and actually have a designated location for the students to come to.” At the same time, Bon Appétit, CWRU’s food service provider, developed an early schematic concept for Tomlinson Hall as part of its evaluation of dining opportunities across campus, providing a starting point for what the marketplace could become. The project also comes at a time of considerable activity in that area of campus. Major new construction is taking place immediately next door with the forthcoming Interdisciplinary Science and Engineering Building (ISEB), with site

and landscaping improvements extending toward Tomlinson Hall.

Team + timeline

The Tomlinson Hall project brought together a team with longstanding ties to Case Western Reserve University and the building itself. From CWRU, Bhadra Nair, director of capital projects; Wendy Harbaugh, design manager; Jennifer Hofelich, construction manager; and Jason Kimball, assistant director of dining services, worked alongside DVA Architecture and Lawler Construction. Justin Fliegel, associate principal at DVA Architecture, and Tom Lawler, president of Lawler Construction, were part of a group that had collaborated on previous www.propertiesmag.com 9

THE REGION’S LEADING INCOME TAX REDUCTION EXPERTS 10

HISTORIC HANGOUT Built more than 75 years ago as a student union, Tomlinson Hall has returned to its original purpose with a renovation that created a student gathering space and marketplace on Case Western Reserve University’s campus.

university projects, including earlier work within Tomlinson Hall. Planning began in 2023, when DVA Architecture helped evaluate and develop the initial food service concept. As the project evolved, Lawler

“It may be the best coordinated food service and engineering design I’ve personally worked on. It made our lives a lot easier on the front end, and then when we did run into issues, we were able to solve them.” Tom Lawler Lawler Construction Construction was formally brought in for budgeting in late 2024. Originally targeted for summer 2025, the renovation was postponed while other major work progressed nearby on campus. The delay ultimately gave the team more time to address long lead items before construction began the following March. Among the longest lead items was a gelato case from Italy, which ultimately took about eight months to arrive. Properties | October 2026

REIMAGINED SPACE The $3.5 million project converted 5,500 square feet of former office, meeting and informal student space (top) into an area with expanded seating and several new food concepts (bottom).

“If the project was released on a typical timeline, we wouldn’t have had it in time,” Lawler says. Construction began in late March, with substantial completion reached in September. The marketplace officially opened on September 22.

Construction

The earliest design concept focused primarily on the central food service area, while another option explored expanding Tomlinson Hall to create additional seating. When interior office space also became available, it was folded into the project, allowing the university to add substantially more seating while avoiding the cost and schedule demands of an addition. Once construction began in late March, the challenges shifted to working within a building more than 75 years old. The first phase of demolition was intentionally contained while students remained on campus, with crews expanding their work after the school year ended. The Case Alumni Association and offices elsewhere in Tomlinson Hall remained open during demo and construction. Even with the team’s previous experience in the building, existing conditions uncovered surprises. New sanitary lines had to be routed to the level below, ductwork and hot water piping had to reach the rooftop mechanical equipment, and portions of the fire suppression system required adjustments. Crews opened more of the building than originally anticipated, including areas above ceilings and below the ground floor, while an existing return duct forced the team to find alternate routes in another portion of the building. The new air handler presented another challenge. Originally scheduled for May, it did not arrive until July, when crews used a crane to set the equipment in place on the roof. “With buildings this old, they weren’t designed with the pathways and futureproofing like you see now,” Fliegel says. One of the most difficult conditions involved connecting new sanitary piping through the tunnel below the ground floor.

The initial route would have required an approximately 80-foot run through the tunnel and could’ve taken several times longer than scheduled. Historic university drawings helped identify another connection point and avoid the more complicated path. Elsewhere, hot water piping traveled about 50 feet farther than planned to reach new air-handling equipment. Portions of the floor below required more extensive underground work than anticipated before being patched back into the existing space. Additional manpower helped recover portions of the schedule, while DVA Architecture and Karpinski Engineering worked with the construction team to resolve conditions as they were uncovered. “It may be the best coordinated food service and engineering design I’ve per-

sonally worked on,” Lawler says. “It made our lives a lot easier on the front end, and then when we did run into issues, we were able to solve them.”

Retaining history

The design team wanted the new marketplace to feel like a natural part of Tomlinson Hall rather than a contemporary facelift. Original stairs, columns and marble finishes were retained, while new wood paneling and wainscoting were detailed to match existing elements. “We wanted to tie it back to the historic look, but not necessarily make it look like we’re just recreating an older building – sort of freshen it up,” Fliegel says. “You still see the original terrazzo steps, original columns and marble finish,” Lawler adds. “The design they www.propertiesmag.com 11

did to tie the new work to the original is almost seamless, in my opinion.” Tile flooring has the appearance of terrazzo, while patterned wall coverings and tile introduce texture without overpowering the original architecture. Decorative metal panels around the central food service island were inspired by the ornamental grilles and return-air registers found in older buildings. The color palette remains light and neutral, taking advantage of the building’s large windows. Removing the former office partitions also brought those windows into the space, making the new seating area considerably brighter and providing campus views.

Student experience

Most ordering is contactless, with kiosk orders routed directly to the appropriate station and assembled for pickup. There is a walkup option for anyone looking for coffee or pastries. Because the Alumni Association remains adjacent to the marketplace, acoustics and circulation received particular attention. Wall coverings conceal acoustic panels in portions of the space, carpet helps absorb sound in seating areas and all the food-service equipment was evaluated for noise. 12

FINISHING TOUCHES Decorative metal panels, pendant light fixtures and lighttoned tile counters complement the space’s existing historic columns.

The completed renovation provides 126 seats across the two areas. Smaller tables allow individuals to use the space without occupying oversized seating areas, while furniture can also be pulled together for groups. Power access was also intentionally limited in certain areas to encourage turnover rather than it functioning solely as an all-day study space. While students remain the primary audience, Tomlinson Hall’s proximity to Adelbert Hall and other university offices is expected to draw faculty, staff and university leadership as well.

Back to its roots

With the marketplace complete, Tomlinson Hall is once again serving much the same purpose it did when it opened as the Case Institute of Technology’s student union more than 75 years ago. “I think the history of the building is interesting, knowing that this was the original student union for Final Case,” Fliegel says. Even before the renovation, Nair says students regularly gravitated toward Tomlinson Hall’s limited seating areas, often bringing food with them. “If you walked into this building, you’d see a bunch of students with food, sitting here having their lunch,” Nair says. “This really was a focal center for Case Western Reserve.”

Back in Session The Arch at Saint Michael adapts former school, convent into affordable senior housing By Dan Holland | Photos by Aerial Agents

fter years of sitting empty, The Arch at Saint Michael in Cleveland’s Clark-Fulton neighborhood has found new life as a residential property for area seniors. The 114-year-old, five-story, 64,733-square-foot Gothic Revival-style school building at 3146 Scranton Rd. and an adjacent threestory, 12,891-square-foot Mid-Century Modern-style former convent building, built in 1960, located at 2202 Prame Ave., now provide a combined 46 one-bedroom senior independent-living apartments. Both buildings are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The one-bed/one-bath units, which are all fully leased, were made available to seniors who are at 50% of the Area Median Income or less, with tenants paying no more than 30% of their income in rent. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) provides rental subsidies up to $674 per month – the monthly rent set by the agency – to residents as needed.

Assembling a team

The design team of Hiti, DiFrancesco and Siebold, Inc. and John G. Johnson Construction Company, who served as general contractor with a lump-sum 14

fixed fee, have previously teamed up with CHN Housing Partners on other Cleveland-area redevelopment projects. Groundbreaking for the adaptive reuse project took place in August 2024, with substantial completion of the convent building reached in fall 2025, followed by completion of the school building in early 2026. “We have worked with both Hiti, DiFrancesco and Siebold and John G. Johnson Construction Company in the past and have great working relationships with them,” says Jennifer Chandler, vice president of real estate with CHN Housing Partners. “Both have been

involved in The Arch at Saint Michael since 2020.” Initial design concepts were completed in May 2020 for the initial interviews with the city of Cleveland’s RFP Task Force, according to Brian Grambort, associate for Hiti, DiFrancesco and Siebold.

Financial considerations

The 1906 Saint Michael School, which later served as Central Catholic School, went into foreclosure in 2017 and faced demolition. An investor group, led by SoTre Properties, purchased the site in 2019 and subsequently engaged CHN to acquire the property from SoTre and Properties | October 2026

lead the redevelopment. The Cuyahoga Land Bank, who provides a long-term ground lease to CHN, acquired the site in early 2023. A variety of funding mechanisms and organizations came together to finance the project. Hard construction costs amounted to approximately $21.2 million. “This was a very costly project, and having all the funding sources come together was critical to make it a reality,” Chandler says. “Those sources include a 9% Low Income Housing Tax Credit award from the OHFA [Ohio Housing Finance Agency], the City of Cleveland, HUD 202 Capital Advance and Project Rental Assistance, the Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati, Cuyahoga County, Ohio Capital Corporation for Housing, federal and state historic preservation tax credits, KeyBank and the Finance Fund. We’re grateful to each one of those funders.” The Arch at Saint Michael was the final project under the OHFA’s FHAct50 Building Opportunity Fund, a short-term pilot program that distributed $3 million in housing tax credits into Cleveland’s Clark-Fulton neighborhood to assist in development of affordable housing. 16

It was also the last project in the area to pair historic-preservation tax credits alongside tax credits for low-income housing. In 2022, the Ohio General Assembly passed legislation that prevents developers from accessing a Low-Income

“Our historic restoration contractor salvaged all of the exterior sandstone, rebuilt the back of it, then reinstalled all of the stone to where it was. So, on the main façade, you can still see all of the original stone, but all of the exterior walls had to be rebuilt.” Brian Grambort Hiti, DiFrancesco and Siebold Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) and the Ohio Historic Preservation Tax Credit (OHPTC) for the same project.

Navigating rising costs

Unforeseen expenses during redevelopment eventually drove the cost up to $27.8 million – approximately $10 million over initial cost estimates.

“When we started this project in 2020, we thought this would be a $17.8 million project,” says Chandler. “We didn’t end up getting to financial closing until August 2024, after going through a cycle of cost increases and finding more sources to cover those cost increases. By the time we closed on financing in August 2024, it had become a $23.8 million project.” “But it didn’t end there,” she adds. “Once we got in the building, and began construction, we found some other significant cost increases – especially with the exterior façade. But it has been a labor of love, and we’re so excited to bring this building back to life.”

Interior layout

The 34 apartments in the school building, which range between 600 and 700 square feet, were converted from former classroom spaces. The main floor contains a north-south oriented main corridor with eight units. Each unit contains an open kitchen/ living room area with new appliances and an eating space/island feature, bathroom and bedroom.

arched tops configured to the original exterior openings. The first floor also contains a fully restored auditorium/gathering space that features a solid wall within an original stage arch, which conceals electrical/ mechanical equipment, a fire pump room and trash collection area behind. A mezzanine area with seating is located at the rear upper level. A brand-new rear corner entryway leads into the main lobby that provides access to a property manager’s office, mailroom, social services coordinator’s office, laundry room and kitchen – all part of a central common-use area. A second-floor fitness room/media lounge with a large, arched floor-toceiling window was created in the space of a former two-story monumental symmetrical flanking stair that previously allowed student access from the exterior to the second floor. Corridors on all levels feature original terrazzo flooring installed during the 1930s. The former convent building, which houses 12 units, was converted from small sleeping quarters to one-bed/one-bath units. A three-story addition at the north end, made to match the original exterior, contains a new elevator, trash chutes/ trash collection area and a mail space. “There were sleeping units in here that were only six- to seven-feet-wide up and down the corridors – just enough space for a bed, wardrobe

and a window,” explains Grambort. “So, we cleared everything out to the bearing walls and really tried to utilize the space as best as possible. We wanted to have an open space with a bathroom behind a sliding door and a bedroom behind.” The properties include two sensory units and three fully accessible units.

Exteriors

All original sandstone blocks and features on the school building exterior were repaired, cleaned and reinstalled as part of the project, per historic tax credit requirements. Tuck pointing, brick replacement, a new TPO membrane roof and new coping were included on the exterior of the yellow-brick convent building. An enclosed courtyard at the rear of the building features concrete walkways and pads, outdoor seating, landscaping and a six-foot-high wooden privacy fence.

Challenges

Building stabilization was a main challenge in the school building, according to Grambort. “During construction, the main challenges were when we finally were able to perform some demolition and uncover the concealed structurally deteriorated conditions,” he explains. “Our task was then to determine how to properly stabi18

Roof support trusses on the fourth floor had to be repaired in place, along with rebuilding of an exterior wall that had collapsed through the roof of the auditorium. “When we had to rebuild that [fourth floor] corridor wall, as we took that down, we found there were long-span roof trusses on that wall that had deteriorated at the bearing end, and so we had to rebuild portions of a half-dozen trusses,” says Grambort. “You can’t see it now, but [the main roof truss] had to be rebuilt in the field, because it was so large that it couldn’t be shipped,” adds Mike Weber, vice president of construction for John G.

“All of the arched tops on the windows [in the school building] are historic,” Grambort says. “We repaired them and restored them. The aluminum windows are configured to match the historic configurations of depth and profile. All of that was reviewed with SHPO [State Historic Preservation Office]. Units feature Low-E Argon glass, water sense fixtures, high efficiency HVAC and low VOC paints. We had to comply with green standards.” New flooring throughout includes LVT, sheet vinyl, sealed concrete, rubberized flooring and rubberized stair treads.

Design considerations

The design approach was developed to preserve and celebrate the building’s character-defining historic interior features. Within the auditorium, these elements include the decorative vaulted ceiling structure, ornamental corbels and rib supports, historic proscenium arch, and original plaster wall paneling and moldings. At the original main entrance, significant historic features include the decorative plaster wall paneling and moldings, as well as the historic mosaic and terrazzo flooring. New finishes, materials and colors were selected to complement and support the historic interiors rather than compete with or detract from the prominent architectural features. The resulting design allows the building’s original craftsmanship and historic character to remain the visual focus while introducing updated finishes that support its continued use. Adhering to a number of stipulations for the historic structures required careful planning. “We were tasked with developing an adaptive reuse plan that achieved the programmatic goals of the development team while also achieving compliance with the different regulations that applied due to the type of project this was,” explains Grambort. “Those included SHPO for historic www.propertiesmag.com 19

preservation tax credits, Ohio Housing Finance Agency for housing tax credits, the Ohio Building Code, Uniform Federal Accessibility Standards due to HUD [U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development] involvement and Environmental Clearance and Mitigation requirements, among others. Each of these regulations had a programmatic design impact as well as cost impact.” The appearance of the corridors and stairwells in the school building had to be preserved. “The corridors and stairs were determined to be character-defining features,” says Grambort. “So, the monotone look, rhythm of openings, the corridors, the chair rail, the terrazzo flooring and the ceilings – all of that was considered historic.”

only to complete construction but to resolve issues in a way that gave the development the best chance for longterm success over its new life as a senior living community.” “Over the last 10 to 15 years, this building has come through our office for different estimates, and no one was able to make it work,” Weber says. “But this

FINANCIAL STRATEGIES Smart use of fiscal planning & action

R ALEC J. PACELLA

ecently, I was at a home improvement store and found myself browsing around the power tool isle. It’s been a little while since I’ve purchased a drill but I was amazed at all the different varieties now available. There were drills, drivers, hammer drills, impact drivers, rotary hammers and right-angle drills, not to mention ones that were yellow, red, green and orange. All these types of drills are related – you pull the trigger and the drill bit spins. But they are all not exactly the same and perform slightly different functions.

That evening, I was reading about the most recent meeting of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) and their decision to raise the federal funds rate by a quarter of a point, to 4%. The immediate reaction by many people is that commercial mortgage rates would immediately increase as a result. But similar to drills, different types of interest rates are related but not all the same. To have a better understanding of why, read on. Interest rates play a central role in commercial real estate and have a heavy influence on property values, investment returns and sales activity. The three most common types of interest rates are the federal cost of funds rate, the 10-year

US Treasury yield and commercial mortgage rates. A few years ago, in this very column, we had a discussion on FOMC and the federal funds rate. In case you missed it (and shame on you if you did), this is the overnight interest rate that banks lend to one another to ensure that reserve balances are maintained. FOMC is the body that sets this rate, and it is a primary tool used to influence economic growth and inflation. When FOMC raises this rate, as they did last month, borrowing becomes more expensive, which slows economic activity and reduces pressures from inflation. Alternatively, if FOMC wants to stimulate the economy, they will reduce rates, which results in borrowing becoming cheaper and encourages invest-

Although the federal fund rate impacts short-term borrowing costs, it does not directly set long-term interest rates. However, it does have a longer-term and more indirect impact because of economic growth and inflation. Unlike the federal funds rate, which is established by FOMC, the 10-year Treasury yield is determined by market forces. As a result, it serves as one of the most important benchmarks for longterm borrowing across our economy. Investors that are considering investing

Although the federal fund rate impacts short-term borrowing costs, it does not directly set longterm interest rates. However, it does have a longer-term and more indirect impact because of economic growth and inflation. in this security consider a variety of factors, including inflation expectations, future economic growth, FOMC policy expectations and global demand for safehaven assets, among others. Ultimately, the 10-year Treasury yield typically reflects what the bond market believes will unfold over the next decade. But this yield does not move in lockstep with the federal funds rate. For example, the federal funds rate may increase but the 10-year Treasury rate may not change. But changes in the 10-year Treasury rate do have an immediate impact on the third primary type of interest rate: the cost to borrow money. And speaking of the cost to borrow money, a commercial mortgage is a longterm loan that usually has a maturity (sometimes called a balloon or loan term) ranging from five to 10 years with amortizations periods ranging from 20 to 30 years.

ting capital over a longer period, they generally price loans relative to longterm bond yields rather than short-term rates. As a rule of thumb, a commercial mortgage rate starts with the 10-year Treasury yield, which is generally considered to be a risk-free rate. It then adds a premium that recognizes items that could influence the risk associated with the loan. These risks can include borrower default, property performance, liquidity, prepayment and market volatility, among a host of others. For example, if the 10-year Treasury yield is 5% and the lender requires a 250-basis point (or 2.5%) premium to compensate for risk, the interest rate associated with the loan would be approximately 7.5%. Related to the 10-year Treasury rate is something called a “yield curve.” It can be helpful to monitor the shape of the yield curve, as it plots Treasury yields across various maturities. The most common version plots the yield of the two-year Treasury to the 10-year Treasury.

As a rule of thumb, a commercial mortgage rate starts with the 10-year Treasury yield, which is generally considered to be a riskfree rate. It then adds a premium that recognizes items that could influence the risk associated with the loan. A normal yield curve will result in the rates for longer-term Treasuries to be higher than the rates for shorter-term Treasuries. This generally signals expectations for continued economic growth, and the commercial real estate market will be more bullish. An inverted yield curve occurs when the rates for longerterm Treasuries are lower than the rates for shorter-term Treasuries. This indicates an expectation of future economic weakness, and the commercial real estate market will be more bearish. As I write this, the two-year Treasury yield is 4.93% while the 10-year Treasury yield is 5.25%, indicating moderate optimism for the near-term future. I left the home improvement store that day empty-handed. It wasn’t because I didn’t need a drill, as mine was over 20

years old and one of the first cordless models. Rather, I didn’t fully understand not just what I needed that drill for now but also how those needs may evolve in the future. The federal funds rate, the 10-year Treasury yield and commercial mortgage rates form a triangle of influences for commercial mortgage rates. The federal funds rate represents the FOMC’s short-term policy tool while the 10-year Treasury yield reflects market expectations for inflation, growth and future interest rates. Commercial mortgage rates are generally priced as a spread above the 10-year Treasury yield, making Treasury

movements the most direct driver of borrowing costs. By understanding not just what these rates look like today but also how they are expected to change in the future, a commercial mortgage borrower will be in a much better position to understand the best time to pull the trigger.

Brazilian Street Artist Completes Mural at 55 Public Square n 11,000-square-foot mural by internationally recognized Brazilian street artist Eduardo Kobra has been completed at the 55 Public Square Garage in downtown Cleveland. Located at 217 W. St. Clair Ave., the mural features Kobra’s signature geometric patterns and vivid colors in portraits of four Rock & Roll Hall of Famers: Chuck Berry, Aretha Franklin, Elvis Presley and Wanda Jackson. The Eduardo Kobra’s mural at the 55 Public Square Garage project was unveiled last month. The mural was commissioned by Cleveland nonprofit Graffiti HeArt in partnership with Downtown Cleveland Inc., Historic Gateway Neighborhood Corp. and the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. K&D Group provided the garage wall for the project. The project began taking shape in 2022, when Graffiti HeArt founder Stamy Paul first contacted Kobra about creating a mural in Cleveland. Kobra developed 12 concepts for the project before the team selected the rock-and-roll theme. Kobra spent approximately 10 days painting the mural on site, with two local apprentices assisting with the installation. The project received funding from the National Endowment for the Arts, while SherwinWilliams provided paint and materials and BrandSafway assisted with safety measures.

RENOVATION + RESTORATION

Back Into the Spotlight Mayfield Theater restoration aims to revive a longtime Little Italy landmark By Gabrielle Benson DS Architecture

istoric buildings survive because they adapt. Throughout Northeast Ohio and beyond, historic buildings are preserved, renewed and refreshed to create a distinct continuity in their city’s urban fabric, a concept popularized by architect Stewart Brand. To best honor this principle, architects, contractors and owners must take a highly technical approach to the restoration of historic spaces. One upcoming example of this can be found nestled within the buildings along Little Italy’s Mayfield Road: The Mayfield Theater.

Built in 1923 by Michele Mastandrea, the building’s first owner, the Mayfield Theater has had many lives as a picture house and theater under various names but has been closed to the public since the 1980s. Given its prime location within the neighborhood, the 9,745-square-foot property (shown above-left circa 1976) holds a particular significance to Little Italy communities’ members who remember the building’s former life. Now, Chromia Development, in collaboration with DS Architecture, Scalish Construction, Naylor Wellman and La Dolce Vita, are working to create a multi-faceted event space, with a dinner club acting as the anchor for the building’s programmatic concept. The team intends to treat the building with the care and technicality 32

required for a historically and communally significant building (pictured above-right in 2022) but believes that by creating a new vibrant space, it can allow the building to thrive for decades to come. Construction is projected to begin Spring 2027.

Technical challenges of adaptation

Adapting a historic building for a new use requires the project team to work within conditions that were never designed to support contemporary expectations. At the Mayfield Theater, that means first understanding how decades of use, alteration and deterioration have affected the existing structure, and then determining where stabilization may be necessary. Temporary shoring, hazardous material abatement and repairs to the

building envelope proceed the integration of current MEP, life-safety and accessibility systems. This, in conjunction with identifying and maintaining historic elements important to the building, creates the sophisticated and technical approach a project of this nature needs. The challenge is to determine how much change the building can accommodate while still retaining the qualities that make it recognizable and meaningful.

The role of collaboration

Undertaking a historically significant building requires creating a culture of collaboration and communication between the design and construction team. “Early communication is key,” says Frank Scalish, owner and founder of Properties | October 2026

RENOVATION + RESTORATION Scalish Construction. “Creating a team that is fully dedicated to the project and community prevents potential roadblocks later on.” Though the project is currently in its early stages, involving the community and local stakeholders in the building’s final design will be an important part of the design process. Preservation must not only be about saving a building’s materials but also maintaining the character of the building’s interior and exterior. Scale and atmosphere allow a building to maintain its historic feel while allowing updates to finishes and furnishings. Luckily, the Mayfield Theater’s new use is intended to make the most of the existing building’s interior volumes, particularly the 4,400-square-foot main movie room. The new dinner club will allow the movie room’s stage, detail and scale to

shine. Several cast plaster decorative elements will be preserved during the restoration as well. “Though [the theater] evolved, its history is relevant to the new use and because

of the specificity and context it couldn’t have just become anything else,” says Nicholas Faehnle, design director with DS Architecture. “Its adaptation demands public interaction and access.”

Concrete Strategy Condition assessments + master planning help extend parking garage service life By Pam Roebel and LeAnn Briggs, MBA, CPSM THP Limited

arking garages are critical infrastructure assets, supporting daily operations for hospitals, universities, municipalities and commercial facilities, yet their exposure to weather makes them vulnerable structures. Constant exposure of the structure and its waterproofing elements to traffic, water infiltration, freeze-thaw cycles and heavy use can cause rapid deterioration.

The budget challenge

Capital programs are often planned years in advance. As a result, when the need for unplanned garage repair hits, money could be committed elsewhere. This friction can lead to instances of LASTING VALUE Parking garages represent significant investments that can deliver value deferred maintenance, compounding long after construction is complete.

DISTINGUISHED DESIGNS DECADES OF EXPERIENCE

Thinking five to 10 years ahead

While condition assessments identify what needs attention today, master planning sets the course for the next decade. Master plans are useful in prioritizing repairs, assigning probable costs and providing a roadmap for extending the useful life of your parking garage. Key benefits of master planning include predictable budgets (advance knowledge of likely costs supports smarter financial allocation), long-term savings (addressing small problems now prevents expensive overhauls later) and reduced disruption (planned phasing avoids sudden shutdowns due to unexpected failures). For example, THP’s 10-year garage restoration program at the University

This proactive approach enabled the university to manage millions of dollars in restoration work without disruptive financial surprise. “Collaborating with clients involves more than delivering a one-time report and maintenance plan,” says Michelle Robinson, AIA, senior restoration project manager with THP Limited. “Working with them to proactively manage that plan, often annually, provides the flexibility to meet their ongoing needs.”

considerations should be utilized rather than a “cookie cutter” approach. “No two garages are the same, and funding for repair projects isn’t either,” Hauke says. Consider value-based construction (choosing products and repair methods that have proven to be durable and of high quality) and warranty coverage, as well as phasing and traffic control plans to keep garages open for business during construction when feasible.

LEGAL PERSPECTIVES Navigating property laws & regulations

When the Repair Becomes the Claim

roof is patched. A façade is tuckpointed. A mechanical penthouse is rebuilt while tenants stay in place. The punch list closes, the last application for payment goes out and the project team moves on. Eighteen months later, or eight years later, water is in the wall again.

ANDREW M. HANNA, ESQ.

That time gap is what makes construction defect risk hard to manage. By the time the problem appears, the superintendent may be gone, the owner’s representative may have changed jobs and the project file may be nothing more than a contract, a few photos and a warranty PDF. For Northeast Ohio owners, developers, property managers, lenders and general contractors working on older buildings, the practical question is simple: when the leak comes back, who still bears responsibility, and can you prove it?

The first deadline is the time to sue after a claim exists. For written contracts, Ohio generally gives six years. That sounds like a long time, but it can disappear quickly if the owner spends months investigating, pricing repairs or waiting for a contractor or manufacturer to respond. Some contracts also try to shorten the deadline, so the signed agreement matters.

contractors, designers and others involved in improvements to real property 10 years after substantial completion. The important business point is that this deadline can apply even if the owner did not discover the defect until later and even if the claim sounds like a contract claim. In other words, year 10 is a real finish line for many project participants. There are exceptions and details, but the practical takeaway is straightforward. If a problem is discovered near the end of the 10-year period, the owner may have a short additional window to act. And if the parties want warranty protection that lasts beyond 10 years – for example on a roof, curtain wall, parking garage or waterproofing system – they should say that clearly in a written express warranty. A product brochure or design-life statement is not the same thing as a signed warranty obligation. For buyers and owners, this changes the underwriting exercise. A defect discovered in year 11 may be a capital expense, not a claim against the original contractor or designer. For general contractors, it means substantial completion should be documented clearly, because that date may define when long-tail exposure ends.

deal will do most of the work. If the warranty is narrow, the remedy may be narrow. If the scope excludes adjacent or pre-existing conditions, owners may own those conditions unless the contracts says otherwise. This is why the contract matters more than the after-the-fact legal theory. If the dispute is mostly about the cost to repair the work, lost rent, delay or disruption, the claim will often live or die by the contract, the warranty, the drawings and

condition the contractor should have stopped and priced before covering it up. Partial scope, whole-building symptom New windows into an old opening, a targeted re-roof, a bay of façade repair. The leak comes back because drainage, movement joints or adjacent flashing were never in the scope. The owner thought the assembly was solved. The contractor warranted only what was drawn.

For Northeast Ohio owners, developers, property managers, lenders and general contractors working on older buildings, the practical question is simple: when the leak comes back, who still bears responsibility, and can you prove it?

Limited warranty coverage

Most repair contracts come with a oneyear workmanship warranty, sometimes two, plus manufacturer warranties on membrane, glass or equipment. Owners often hear “it’s under warranty” as “the building will not leak.” Contractors hear “I warrant the work I installed, for the period we wrote down.” Those are not the same sentence. A short side note: Ohio residential law gives homeowners some protections that may not translate neatly to commercial projects. For example, cases involving homebuilders and homebuyers should not be treated as the rule for a negotiated commercial repair or capex contract. Commercial owners, developers and GCs should assume the written

the closeout record. A negligence label may not add much if the only damage is the failed work itself.

Restoration vs. occupied-building work

New construction usually has a clean start date and a single project team. Restoration and occupied-building work usually does not. That creates recurring business problems: Concealed conditions Demolition finds wet sheathing, failed flashings or a prior contractor’s shortcuts. The fight becomes whether this is new defective work or a pre-existing

Sequential contractors Over a decade, three different firms touch the same roof or garage. When water appears, the first question is whose work failed. The second is whether that firm’s 10-year repose period has already run.

Operations never stop Tenants, patients and shoppers stay in the building. Access, phasing and temporary weather protection are as much defect risk as the permanent detail. Those items should be addressed while work is being performed. If they first appear in a lawyer’s letter after a failure, the team is already behind.

Before the first wall comes down

The best risk controls are not complicated. They just need to be handled before the project is in trouble. For owners and developers: buy the scope you actually expect. If the business expectation is “this wall will stop leaking,” the contract should

If adjacent or pre-existing conditions are excluded, identify them. For everyone: write down the start date for the clock. Define substantial completion for the improvement that was actually built.

the cost of repairing old conditions from the warranty on new work. For multi-phase projects: document the project handoff. Before the next contractor starts, record the condition of the existing work. Photos, marked drawings and a short field memo can later answer

Ohio’s construction statute of repose generally cuts off many claims against contractors, designers and others involved in improvements to real property 10 years after substantial completion. In other words, year 10 is a real finish line for many project participants.

For long-life building systems: decide whether the standard warranty is enough. Roofs, masonry, garages, windows and below-grade waterproofing are expected to last. If the owner wants protection beyond the ordinary workmanship warranty, negotiate it expressly and price it accordingly.

the most important question: whose work failed?

For concealed conditions: create a stopand-document rule. Require notice, photos and an owner decision before unexpected substrate or prior defective work is covered. Separate

For insurance review: do not treat the CGL policy as the warranty. Insurance may respond to some resulting damage, but it is not a substitute for a clear construction

warranty. Know where builder’s risk ends, what completed-operations coverage may address and what must be handled by contract. For closeout: build a file that survives a sale or refinance. Warranties, as-builts, substantial-completion dates, open punch items, product data and prior repair records should be organized so the next owner, lender or property manager can understand what protection remains. For buyers and lenders looking at an older building Defect risk follows the asset. In diligence, ask five practical questions: When was the last major roof, envelope, garage, window or waterproofing project substantially completed? Who performed the work? Is there an unexpired written warranty? Can that warranty be assigned? Has the same leak, crack or failure appeared before? If the last major repair is already nine years old, treat the next failure as something you may own unless the file shows otherwise.

Bottom line

Restoration is how Northeast Ohio keeps older buildings productive. It also puts new legal and business risk into old structures. The practical lesson is not that every project needs a longer or more complex contract. It is that developers, owners and GCs should decide upfront what is being fixed, how long the promise lasts, what happens when hidden conditions appear and where the closeout file will live. If those points are clear before demolition starts, the next stain on the lobby ceiling is much less likely to become an expensive fight over a stale project file. Andrew M.

DLR Group Cleveland Office 1422 Euclid Ave., #1300, Cleveland

Photos by Logan Ali

Thirteen might seem unlucky to some. When DLR Group’s Cleveland office had the chance to relocate from the third floor to the 13th in the historic Hanna Building in Playhouse Square, staff saw it as a good omen. The move kept the firm in the same landmark building. The third-floor space it left behind no longer worked, with dated systems, limited daylight and nowhere for the full 80-person staff to gather without crowding into a conference room. Solving that meant a full renovation, not just a move. DLR Group rebuilt the 13th floor from the studs. Fragmented layouts and disconnected work areas gave way to an open, flexible plan built for focused work, collaboration and a staff that’s frequently moving in and out of the office for client and site visits. The team reused existing furnishings where possible, specified healthier materials and pursued LEED Silver certification. New fresh-air intake and upgraded systems make a noticeable difference in air quality across the floor. The material and color story comes straight from Cleveland’s geology. Sandstone bluffs, shaped over centuries by water and erosion, inspired a palette of warm neutrals, soft rusts and moss greens, paired with curved millwork and layered textures that echo stratified rock. Public corridors narrow and dim on purpose (top photo), evoking the feeling of walking between two gorges, before opening into bright, expansive office spaces (middle photo) with living plantings, reminiscent of walking through Cuyahoga Valley National Park. At the heart of the space is “The Pavilion,” a work café large enough for the whole office to gather, with lake and city views (bottom photo). Four distinct meeting settings, from small huddle rooms to a client-facing central space, give staff options depending on the task at hand. The office also honors its long legacy in Cleveland, with a shared path of archival images, historic drawings and design awards leading to a dedicated space called “The Study.” Filled with historic books and other ephemera, The Study creates a dimly lit, quiet setting for heads-down work while connecting today’s workplace to the office’s history in the region. –Properties Staff www.propertiesmag.com 43

Renovating + Reusing America’s Church Buildings

rive through almost any American city and you will pass a church that no longer holds services. The stained glass is intact, the masonry is sound, the bell tower still marks the skyline, but the doors are locked. This raises a practical question for congregations, developers and municipalities alike: how do you restore a building this well-built and this rooted in its neighborhood, so it keeps serving the community?

AMBER KORIATH

Lifeway Research estimates that roughly 4,000 Protestant churches closed in 2024, a net loss of around 200 after new starts are counted, close to 1.4% of the 293,000 Protestant congregations counted in the 2020 U.S. Religion Census. Median congregation size fell from 137 in 2000 to 65 in 2020, per Christianity Today, and the National Council of Churches projects as many as 100,000 North American churches could close in the coming years. Catholic dioceses are consolidating for similar reasons; a shortage of

priests and declining mass attendance have pushed dioceses from Buffalo to Peoria to merge dozens of parishes at once, and the Diocese of Pittsburgh closed seven churches in a single day this year. As more buildings sit empty, restoration becomes the practical alternative to demolition.

decide what can be repaired versus what needs replacement. All of this is documented against the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards, and a Part 1 historic tax credit application is prepared alongside the stabilization work itself, so the building keeps its eligibility for federal and state historic tax credits even before anyone decides what it becomes next.

Financing is often the harder half of the equation.

Financing a Home Renovation When You Buy

ou’ve found a house that has great bones, but it needs work. Don’t let the thought of renovation costs scare you away. There are mortgage options that let you fold in the cost of renovations or repairs. Renovation financing can help you compete in low-inventory markets, customize a home to your needs and build equity faster.

A real estate professional can help you identify the right loan options and connect you with experienced lenders.

There are several mortgage options that may allow you to finance both the purchase of a home and the cost of renovations, including:

The minimum repair cost must be $5,000, you must use an FHA-approved 203(k) consultant, and projects must be completed within 12 months. A limited 203(k) version allows buyers to finance up to $75,000 into their mortgage to cover minor/non-structural repairs and improvements. Projects must be completed within nine months.

or the “as completed” appraised value, whichever is lower. VA Renovation Loan Available to veterans, active-duty military or surviving spouses, this option is for primary residences only to make renovations that improve accessibility or safety, such as a new HVAC system or mold remediation, and not for cosmetic upgrades. USDA Renovation Loan Available to eligible buyers in qualifying rural areas, this option combines the purchase price and renovation costs into a single mortgage with no down payment and financing up to 100% of the “as-improved” appraised value. Buyers can choose a limited version for non-structural repairs up to $35,000, or a standard version for structural changes and larger-scale improvements.

Why not just get a home-improvement loan after the purchase? Because home-improvement loans and home equity lines of credit often carry higher interest rates and shorter repayment timeframes.
