Corrigan Tower 

DALLAS, TX

 

 

 

The renovation of Corrigan Tower in downtown Dallas converted a vacant office building into luxury apartments with modern amenities. Electrical upgrades were implemented while maintaining the building's historic features. The project successfully combined historic charm and modern convenience, aiding the revitalization of downtown Dallas.

Scope of Work

The historic renovation and adaptive reuse of Corrigan Tower, a 20-story modernist high-rise at 1900 Pacific Avenue in downtown Dallas, involved transforming the formerly vacant office building into approximately 247,842 square feet of luxury urban and loft-style apartments. The electrical scope included upgrading systems to support 18 floors of residential units and a variety of modern amenities, such as a rooftop pool and lounge, a state-of-the-art fitness center, music rooms, bike service facilities, and a pet spa. Additionally, the project required the integration of a sky bridge connecting the tower to an adjacent parking garage, ensuring seamless access while preserving the building’s historic architectural integrity.

Challenges & Solutions

Retrofitting electrical systems within a historic structure presented significant challenges, including spatial limitations and preserving original design features. The downtown urban setting further complicated logistics due to limited staging areas and tight site access. These obstacles were overcome through meticulous planning and innovative electrical design solutions. Collaboration with the design and construction teams enabled upgrades to power distribution, lighting, and low-voltage systems to meet current code requirements without compromising the building’s architectural character. The electrical systems were carefully integrated to support modern residential amenities while respecting the building’s heritage.
