Queen Street
Project Overview
Project Details
The Queen Street project site spanned 3.89 acres in downtown Lancaster, consisting of two lots. Lot 1 housed a historical building that required demolition, while Lot 2 featured a neglected parking lot, overgrown with weeds. The site transformation was remarkable, turning a previously abandoned area into a revitalized space. What once appeared forgotten amidst one of downtown Lancaster's main roads was given new life.
The 4-story building featured a façade of brick veneer, fiber cement, and metal panels. The second and third floors on the Queen Street side and the parking lot side were composed entirely of curtain walls, lending the building a modern appearance. Despite this, the brick veneer maintained Lancaster’s traditional aesthetic, making the building seem as if it had always been part of the cityscape. This project breathed new life into one of the city's oldest areas.
