Jordy Construction has broken ground on SugarSquare, a four-story, 10,800-square-foot building at 1530 16th St. in Lower Downtown.
Designed by
Semple Brown Design, the building, under construction between the historic Sugar Building and Spice Building, is the final component of the three-building Sugar Block project started by
Urban Villages in 2003. It will feature an exterior facade of glass and blackened stainless steel with a green roof and amenities deck on top. Each floor also will be connected to the Sugar Building.
"We are committed to maintaining the integrity of the area and delivering the project in a way that supports our client's needs," says Sean Wardroup, president of Jordy Construction.
Urban Villages refurbished the historic Sugar Building at 1530 16th Street in 2008. An additional two floors were added to the top of the original four-story tan-brick structure building in 1912, bringing the building to its current six-story height with 64,000 square feet of space. Urban Villages also opened the SugarCube office and apartment building in 2008, leasing five of the building's 37 high-end apartments within the first two months.
