from Wausau Window and Wall Systems, Wausau,
WI. The 33 luxury condominiums at 2 Park Place
range from one to four bedrooms with amenities
including a private garage, fitness facility, and 55-ft.long lap pool, plus wine storage for each unit and a
tasting room. Residents have access to an exclusive entertainment lounge aptly named The Gilbert Lounge
in honor of Cass Gilbert, the renowned architect who
designed the building in 1913.
Guided by developer Alchemy Properties Inc., the
architectural vision of SLCE Architects, and The Office
of Thierry W Despont Ltd, all of New York, the tower
residences' interiors display Calacatta marble, Dada cabinetry, elevated ceilings, and herringbone-patterned oak
floors. The exteriors' polychromatic terra-cotta surrounds have been restored to their former grandeur.
Wausau's oversized windows provide the connection
between outside and in with breathtaking views.
Together with general contractor CNY Group, New
York, and window contractor, Kilroy Architectural Windows Inc., Bronx, NY, Wausau's windows and terrace
doors were confirmed as the best choice to maintain the
prestigious property's historic detailing, while delivering
modern-day performance and easy operation.
Working with the Apogee Building Retrofit Strategy Team, Minneapolis, the window company provided Kilroy Windows with more than 630 units of
4250i INvent series simulated double-hung projected
windows for the Woolworth project. "As their name
indicates, simulated double-hung projected windows
look like double-hung windows, but actually project
from the plane of the wall, either inward or outward,"
said Apogee team member Kevin Robbins. "Offset
glass planes and narrow meeting-rail profiles replicated the appearance of existing windows."
CAREFUL INSTALLATION
Drawing from its 71-yr. history of commercial and
landmark window replacement, Kilroy worked closely with Wausau as supported by Apogee Building
