ABOUT

BK Patterson Builders is proud to lead the seismic strengthening and refurbishment of this landmark 20-storey mixed-use building. With premium office floors, two retail levels, and multi-level parking, the project demands meticulous planning, coordination and communication. As Project Manager and Main Contractor, BK Patterson is overseeing every stage of this complex build — from planning and coordination to delivery — working closely with our clients and consultants to ensure the project runs efficiently with minimal disruption to tenants and building operations.

Materials & finishes

Throughout the refurbishment, services including mechanical, HVAC, sprinkler, and electrical systems have been carefully removed, reinstated, and finished to a high standard. Each space is restored with durable, high-quality materials that support long-term building performance and maintain the professional appearance expected in a premium commercial environment.

Stand out features

The project features the installation of major engineered seismic elements including: catch-frame beams, beta-frame beams, seating angles, and structural steel portals; all installed beneath existing floor slabs. This work significantly strengthens the building’s seismic resilience and showcases BK Patterson’s capability in delivering complex, technically demanding, and safety-critical upgrades in a live, high-rise environment.
