A 1950s-era four-story downtown office building that was renovated by the city of Tucson, 149 North Stone comprises 8,386 square feet (779 sq m) of offices above 3,595 square feet (334 sq m) of retail space and one small restaurant. When the structure was rehabilitated, the interior was demolished and the facade was restored. An under-floor system was added to make it easier to access electrical wiring and other building systems. A new heating and cooling system–also accessed under the floor–coupled with a new curtain wall has greatly increased the building’s energy efficiency. From both a monetary and an environmental perspective, the project represents significant savings for the city of Tucson.
