As the Owners’ Representative for this transformative redevelopment project at 218 Church Street, Avant played a pivotal role in overseeing the meticulous renovation of the National Historic Landmark Building. The Baptist Convention Building was converted to a mixed-use facility, comprised of mercantile suites, restaurant spaces, and 24 studio and 1-bedroom apartments. The building required extensive structural repairs and a complete replacement of building systems, including HVAC, Electrical, Plumbing, and Technology. Our team partnered with JWB to manage project coordination, budget oversight, and quality control. We also led the process of obtaining the DIA’s DPRP grant by monitoring requirements, tracking the project budget, and assisting with grant applications. The project has received Historic approvals from the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO), the National Park Service (NPS), and a local COJ COA.
