Historic Metal Building Sale Upsets Architect

Historic Metal Building Sale Upsets Architect. Historic Metal Building Sale Upsets ArchitectCategories:Commercial Steel BuildingMetal Building HistoryTwo years ago, some investors used the star power of architect Frank Gehry to help them buy Chicago's Inland Steel Building with plans to update the landmark structure and preserve its unique character.Now those same investors are trying to sell the historic metal building - much to the architect's dismay."When you buy a landmark, you have a certain responsibility," Gehry said to the Chicago Tribune. "It upsets me that these guys are taking the easy way out. To just dump it on the market isn't responsible."In August 2005 a group of investors that included Harvey Camins paid $44.5 million for the commercial steel building, and Gehry wound up with roughly a 3 percent stake without putting any money into the deal."I'm sorry he feels that way," Camins said."We bought the building as a real estate investment and because we all love it. But the market is such today that we must explore a sale."Sale prices have jumped 19 percent in the past 12 months in the downtown office market, and it's tempting for property owners to take advantage of the fabulous run-up in real estate values.But Gehry got involved in the purchase because the 19-story steel building, finished in 1958, is an historical and architectural landmark and one of his favorites. He's angry and disappointed that it's back on the block, its fate uncertain."I am not taking advantage of the market. I got into this to save the building," Gehry said. "I don't want to be linked to such opportunism."It's one of my favorite buildings, and the only reason it was sold to someone like me was to preserve it," added Gehr.The metal building is expected to sell for about $55 million and is being marketed by Eastdil Secured."We've invested $2 million to upgrade the corridors, bathrooms," said Camins. "We brought the lobby back to its original luster and installed a new security desk. We've been aggressively marketing it, but Chicago is recovering from a very tough market."In 2005 the building had a 2 percent vacancy rate, but its largest tenant, Mittal Steel, has since moved out and the structure is now 19.3 percent vacant, according to CoStar Group Inc.Despite that problem, the first downtown office designed by Skidmore Owings and Merrill LLP is likely to fetch a handsome price.The recent rapid appreciation of downtown property is set to accelerate even more in coming weeks when the Chicago portfolio of the former Equity Office Properties Trust is sold.But for Gehry, who said he might receive about $240,000 from a sale, the steel building price isn't the issue."It's an important building," Gehry said of the first skyscraper to be built with a steel-and-glass cladding and column-free interior space, and on steel pilings rather than on concrete.For 50 years, Gehry has admired what was once the headquarters of Inland Steel. In 2005, then-owner St. Paul Travelers Cos. wasn't interested in selling until it learned that Gehry was among the suitors."I thought they would update it in the spirit of the design and that I'd help bring it up," Gehry said Thursday of his ownership group. http://www.trinitysteelbuildings.com/

Building Metal History

Building Metal History
Renovation Complete on Historical Steel Building in UtahCategories:Commercial Steel BuildingMetal Building HistoryBen Logue had a vision when he was renovating the Stratford Building in Utah: to keep its historical character while giving it a complete face lift.After a $4 million yearlong renovation, the building on the corner of 200 South and 200 East opened its doors as a mixed-use residential and commercial building with most of its original facade restored."We've been doing this kind of stuff renovating old buildings for a long time," Logue said. "We believe it enhances the character of the city to keep old buildings rather than put up glass buildings. It builds character and keeps character."The top two floors of the Stratford Building provide 46 units for low-income residents, while the bottom floor will be rented out as commercial space.Kimberly Srisa-ad, project manager for the Stratford Building, said it was in terrible shape when renovation started. A fire had gutted the metal building in June 2005 and left it without a roof. Two businesses located there, the Brushworks Gallery and Star of India restaurant, had to move.With painstaking attention to detail, the renovation began. Logue said they contacted the Utah Historical Society to obtain pictures of the building when it was new so it could be re-created as closely as possible to the original. It was built in 1909 as a Studebaker Garage. A large lift on the interior hauled cars up and down from the basement.The Stratford Building was updated with a new sprinkler system, electrical wiring, heating and cooling system, plumbing system and roof.The building's footings, foundation and structural walls were repaired. Insulation was redone. The addition of an elevator, so the building is now ADA accessible, is reminiscent of the original lift for cars. A canopy on the front of the building and pieces of molding discovered in the basement were re-created.Salt Lake City Councilwoman Nancy Saxton, whose district includes Second and Second, said she is impressed with the attention Logue paid even to small details on the building's restoration. "It's so wonderful, almost like a little window into the past," she said. "The main floor changed quite dramatically over the years, but now the brick is cleaned off. The crown up around the parapet wall around the top has been restored and painted. It's really shown in all of its majesty, the way it looked when it was first built."One of the most interesting things Logue discovered during renovation was the remarkable structure of the building, Logue said."It had a steel structure underneath the brick. It was one of the first [steel buildings] in Utah to be builtl with C-beam construction, like the New York City subway," he said. "(There are) steel columns under that brick bolted together. It's really fantastic, a historical building, one of the original ones in Salt Lake City. http://www.trinitysteelbuildings.com/

Study Fosters Metal Building Design Safety

Study Fosters Metal Building Design Safety. Study Fosters Metal Building Design SafetyCategories:Metal Building HistorySafetyA Purdue University study into steel building design and safety, funded by the National Science Foundation, used 3-D animation to provide visual context to the September 11 attacks.A computer simulation of the World Trade Center attacks supported a federal agency's findings that the initial impact from the hijacked planes stripped away crucial fireproofing material and that the weakened towers collapsed under their own weight."One thing it does point out is the essential nature of fireproofing steel buildings," Christoph Hoffmann, a professor of computer science and one of the lead researchers on the project, told The Associated Press."This is something that wasn't done originally in the World Trade Center when it was built. It wasn't code at that time."Mete Sozen, a professor of structural engineering and an investigator on the simulation, said Purdue researchers hope their work leads to better metal building structural design and codes to prevent similar collapses."In the unfortunate development that we shall have to design structures to survive such events, the methods we have developed and will be developing will be of great use to designers," Sozen said.The animation, intended to help engineers design safer steel buildings, begins with a map of lower Manhattan on September 11, 2001.The video then shows a chilling scene - a plane slicing through several stories of the north tower and follows a disintegrating plane through the interior and out the opposite side of the steel building.The report concludes that the weight of the aircraft's fuel, when ignited, produced "a flash flood of flaming liquid" that knocked out a number of structural columns within the commercial metal building and removed the fireproofing insulation from other support structures.Ayhan Irfanoglu, a Purdue professor of civil engineering, said half of the steel building's weight-bearing columns are concentrated at the cores of the towers "when that is wiped out, the structure comes down."A 2005 report followed a three-year investigation by the National Institute of Standards and Technology, a federal engineering agency, and recommended that cities raise fire standards for skyscrapers - and develop new materials that can better protect tall metal buildings from fire.That analysis did not blame the collapse on the steel building frame or design of the towers, but focused on the fireproofing.The animation is the latest project by the Purdue team to assess the damage from September 11. The team previously studied the impact of the crash into the Pentagon.http://www.trinitysteelbuildings.com/

Dallas Metal Building Steeped in History

Dallas Metal Building Steeped in HistoryDallas Metal Building Steeped in HistoryCategories:Commercial metal buildingMetal Building HistoryIn 1942, a 31-story metal building in Dallas was the only U.S. skyscraper of its size built during World War II.The War Department gave Dallas banker R.L. Thornton special permission for the construction of the Mercantile National Bank Building.The steel for the building had already been fabricated, so it wasn't economical to halt construction and reuse the metal for battleships and tanks.Once the tallest metal building in the state, the $1.8 million limestone and brick tower at Main and Ervay streets was designed by architect Walter Ahlschlager, who did Manhattan's landmark Roxy Theater and the historic Peabody Hotel in Memphis, Tenn.The steel building's signature clock tower was added later.Renovations to the building and additions on the east side in the '50s and '60s obscured the the original facade on lower floors.Those additions have now been demolished, and the original exterior is being restored atop the steel building frame.Originally home to Mercantile National Bank, later Mbank, the metal building has been vacant since 1993.With 900,000 square feet in the complex, it was the largest vacant office block in downtown Dallas.The Merc is being rehabbed into 215 apartments with two floors of retail space at the bottom. The first phase opens in February.A second steel building under construction next door will have more than 150 apartments, and is set to open in late 2008. http://www.trinitysteelbuildings.com/
