Revitalizing south downtown in Albuquerque, the $52.2-million project included 286,000 sq ft of renovation to the eight-story tower at 415 Silver Ave. and construction of the adjacent 12,000-sq-ft Commission Chambers Building. Vacant for seven years and prone to littering, graffiti and crime, the two-block property is now a vibrant flagship for New Mexico.
Completed May 2021 on budget and on schedule via design-build delivery, the center has consolidated nearly all county departments and services, drawing an estimated 140,000 constituents and more than 800 employees downtown to a modern, welcoming and safe building. The chamber's addition, which replaced the old annex, defines a new entrance to the complex.
