The revitalization of Hampton Plaza exemplifies the successful conversion of vacant commercial property into a vibrant residential hub, demonstrating the potential for such transformations to enhance the overall vitality of the surrounding area.

Hampton Plaza

The Hampton Plaza project presented Blackrock Development with a complex challenge: transforming underutilized storage and office spaces into four modernized apartments within a structure built in the 1970s. This ambitious undertaking required meticulous planning and execution, particularly given the need to work within the constraints of an existing building while minimizing disruptions to current occupants. A key aspect of the project involved intensive coordination with construction and structural engineers to navigate the intricacies of modifying a post-tension slab, a critical structural element of the building.

The team employed advanced technology, utilizing Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) to precisely locate and avoid tension cables within the slab, enabling safe and accurate drilling for new plumbing installations. This delicate process demanded exceptional attention to detail and expertise to maintain the structural integrity of the building while accommodating modern amenities. Throughout the project, Blackrock Development maintained close collaboration with all stakeholders, ensuring that every phase of the conversion aligned with both safety standards and the client's vision for upscale living spaces. The successful completion of this project not only revitalized underutilized areas but also significantly enhanced the property's value, showcasing Blackrock Development's ability to blend innovative solutions with practical execution in challenging architectural environments.
