Project Overview #06.001
Anchorage Community Land Trust
The true story behind the renovation of the Old Sadler’s Warehouse located in the Mountain
View District of Anchorage really began in 2002 when we were ask to develop a schematic plan
for the remodel of this old 50,000 square foot furniture warehouse, which at one times was a variety of businesses including a laundry mat, grocery store and sporting goods store.
Over the years Dokoozian Construction was asked to develop different renovation costs and developmental floor plans for an array of possible tenants, which were represented by potentially different building owners.
In the winter of 2005, Anchorage Community Land Trust became the final owner of the old building and we were then contracted to perform the design and renovations.
Onsite, we began in January 2006 with the interior demolition and asbestos abatement, and offsite we began the design and engineering process; The design team, spearheaded by DC, started with a blank piece of paper and a wish list from the ACLT and their first tenant, Camp Fire of Alaska.
The onsite exterior work consisted of the reshaping and grading of the entire site with the addition
of curb and gutter, paving, exterior lighting and landscaping. Inside we completely demolished all the interior features. Once demolition was complete, we added a clear story structure including an entrance lobby with elevator, new electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning as well as a new communication system.
New additions were added to the south side of the existing structure; these new additions offer spectacular mountain views through many of the added windows.
The “ A” grade, 12,000 square foot Camp Fire tenant improvement utilizes DIRTT ® full height de-mountable partitions, modern and efficient forms of lighting and a new digital sound masking system. Also, installation of state-of-the art data service and phone systems makes the Camp Fire suite one of the most modern spaces in the Anchorage business district.
Work was completed and Campfire moved into their space in early September 2006; three-and half-months after the building permit was granted by the local permit department. This project was, in itself, quite an accomplishment for DC, as we assembled as a team to complete this $5 million renovation.
