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.
