A facility reborn

In late 2010, Lilja client United Properties announced it would undertake the historic renovation of Ford Center, an office building just north of downtown Minneapolis.

The 1912 building was home to the first showroom and vertical assembly plant for Ford Motor Company in the Twin Cities. Model Ts regularly rolled off (or should we say dropped down?) the assembly line.

We invited the Star Tribune in for a hardhat tour of the building as the final details took place, and to see the painstaking measures taken by United Properties and RJM Construction to ensure its historic preservation.

The result was a beautiful story about the renovation and history of this building.
