The Hub on 6th
Project Summary
Quick Facts
The Hub on 6th, in collaboration with Borton Construction INC. and Three Sixty Real Estate Solutions, LLC, was as an emblem of transformation, turning a 1963 county administration building into a vibrant and contemporary residential and retail building. In 2015 Three Sixty Real Estate Solutions, LLC and Borton Construction began the re-development of the 107,000 square foot building with plans to convert it into housing. In 2017, the transformation began on this $14.5 million project. The vision was to revitalize the existing structure and bring new life to downtown La Crosse, WI. The asbestos removal process, typically a five-month endeavor during demolition, was remarkably expedited to just five weeks, thanks to the efficiency of technology. The original administration building plans suggested a capacity for a fourth floor in the existing three-story office wing. This created the opportunity to use original plan information and add a level of two-story Condos on the roof. The expansion resulted in the creation of 17 condominiums, responding to the demand for downtown living and the desire of individuals to own their own property. The sustainability approach taken in re-purposing this building is inherently eco-friendly, opting for reuse over demolition. Key initiatives included salvaging steel jail cells, re-purposing cement blocks and clay tiles for road base, and installing a photo-voltaic solar system on the roof. Furthermore, a central water system significantly minimized the carbon footprint associated with supplying hot water to all occupants. The Hub on 6th now offers unparalleled living and design for residents searching for an urban amenity-rich environment. The 95 rental units and the 17 owner-occupied lofted rooftop condos with the 6,000 square foot commercial space represent what can happen when you re-imagine rather than demolish.
