Today, Corporate Center is a bustling commercial office building located on Broward Boulevard in Fort Lauderdale's Central Business District. When purchased, the building was 40% vacant, and largely ignored by the market. The building required extensive renovations before it was reintroduced to the
market.
Lobby
Before
The "open air" ground floor was not only dark and unattractive, but also not generating revenue.

The lobby level was completely enclosed, creating a new facade and a
recognizable identity for Corporate Center.
Exterior
Before
Inside, the lobby was small, cold, and stark.

After the renovation, the lobby was spacious and comfortable, appealing to the needs of local businesses and their visitors.
Restrooms

The finishes were almost non-existent in the common areas on each floor.

The judicious use of wood trim and ceramic tile greatly enhanced the quality of the common areas.

After
The judicious use of wood trim and ceramic tile greatly enhanced the quality of the common areas.

An example of neglectful deferred maintenance.
