All M/E/P systems were upgraded and structural bracing ensured preservation of the building’s structural systems. The 76,600 sq. ft. addition features a striking double-skin glass curtain wall imported from Germany, distinctive interior finishes such as bamboo flooring and terrazzo tile and a 33,leovegas sport review000 sq. ft. underground parking garage.
