Begun earlier this year, the renovation process will eventually include a complete replacement of all cable and motor systems for the two Sinclair Building passenger elevators. Renovations will be completed one elevator at a time, assuring that throughout construction two of the three elevators are fully functioning for passenger use at all times. Project completion is expected in October of 2010.

    “The new Sinclair Building elevator technology will increase passenger comfort and security and provide more energy-efficient service,” said Rick Baumeister, a Sinclair Building partner. “Importantly, we’ll keep the beautiful historic detailing of the current elevators that distinguishes the Sinclair Building as one of Fort Worth’s finest Modernist structures.”

    The elevators will remain esthetically intact with new mechanical functionality, making building transportation reliable for tenants, clients, and visitors.

    Located in the heart of the vibrant downtown Fort Worth business and entertainment district, the Sinclair Building is within steps of Sundance Square, surrounded by restaurants, retail, hotels, entertainment and residential properties. In addition to its office space, the building provides retail on the ground floor and storage on the basement level. Its ornate art deco Main Street entrance is one of the most unique in the city. Inside, each floor averages 6,400 square feet. Currently at about 80 percent occupancy, the building has space available now, from 6,400 square feet (an entire floor) to 200 square feet.
