Rich Company in 1973 with plans to construct a second, identical tower near the building, but the project was ultimately canceled due to financial issues.

The building's original facade, consisting of bronze anodized aluminum curtain wall with dark-tinted spandrel glass, some operable windows, and vertical precast panels, were exhibiting signs of deterioration.

Trefz Properties chose Hoffmann Architects to investigate the existing curtain wall system and recommend options to renovate the facade.

Hoffmann Architects presented Trefz Properties with a few schematic design options to achieve their renovation objectives and address the intermittent leak issues.

To withstand the weight of the thicker insulated glazing and meet current building code for wind resistance, Hoffmann Architects recommended new exterior metal trim to be installed over the existing mullions.
