2963 Sidco Drive

Building a new corporate home through warehouse transformation

Through an adaptive reuse project, Crain Construction converted a former warehouse the general contractor built in 1959 at 2963 Sidco Drive into Class A office space for a consulting firm, and for our new headquarters. The first two phases converted the warehouse into office for a growing consulting firm and a creative, collaborative, turnkey, offsite location where its clients and the community can hold meetings and events. Crain then transitioned the back portion of the warehouse to accommodate its headquarters.

Project highlights

Asbestos abatement was conducted and the interior was gutted.
Structural bays were removed and replaced with a pervious concrete pavement parking lot and 60 additional parking spaces.
Exterior walls were reclad accentuating the exterior’s eye-catching design.
Three old shipping dock doors on the side of the building were repurposed as large front windows and an entry door.
Ceiling and duct work was left exposed and painted and the original warehouse floors mad of river gravel and sand were preserved and polished.
Individual mini-split heating/cooling units were installed in each office in the executive suite at the front of the building.
Custom metal door frames with side glass lights add to the industrial esthetic while a white noise system and sound baffles help reduce noise distraction and improve privacy.
Moveable glass partitions allow for large and small rooms. Floor-to-ceiling walls covered with dry-erase paint maximize the writable white board surfaces and acid-etched, metal walls are visual accents and a magnetic surface doubling as work walls for presentations.
The project received an Urban Land Institute Nashville Excellence in Development Award.
