As the City of Concord continues to grow, the development has kept a focus on retaining the communities history and leveraging it as part of the economic growth to come. Lorenz Architecture was retained to be the architect for this adaptive reuse project based on our ability to work closely with developers and deliver project on time and budget. The goal of the project was to convert the former Coca-Cola bottling plant and the adjacent Concord Creamery into a thriving mixed use development to spur development linking downtown to I-85. The project began with a full evaluation of the existing structure, code evaluation, and completes Master planning of the site and various options for additional buildings. The new development will include retail, office, and multi-family residential units. Construction of Phase I is underway, which included the rehab of the existing shells and site preparation.

Lorenz Architecture was selected to be the architect for this design/build project to renovate and restore this turn of the century building located in Historic Downtown Concord. The new vision for the City Market Building, as it is known, was for the original exterior to be uncovered and repaired, renovate the street level for retail tenants, and update for code compliance so that the 2nd story could be upfitted for commercial offices. To complete the developer’s vision, Lorenz Architecture developed several innovative solutions so that the upstairs section of the building could serve as attractive, modern office space to commercial clients.
