Overview:
Detroit’s iconic Farwell Building was called a “once in a lifetime
project” by the developers behind Capital Park Partnership. The Farwell Building is situated in the
Capital Park district, which is rich with the city’s history.
While the Farwell Building was constructed in 1915, it sat largely vacant since
the 1970’s.
Capital Park Partnership and BuildTech Ltd.
developed plans to revitalize the
eight-story Farwell Building by transforming it into 82 residential apartments,
office space and a rooftop deck. They
turned to Kent Companies to help make it happen.
The wood and mortar flooring system throughout the
Farwell Building was extremely deteriorated. Kent Companies’ Underlayments Division provided critical repairs by
pouring one inch of deep fill and a once inch cap of Maxxon Commercial Topping
across all floors. The team repaired
over 65,000 square feet, leaving a safe, level work surface for finished floor
goods.
Kent Companies worked from the ground up to help the
Farwell Building reclaim the downtown spotlight.
