Although it has been done before, a five-story Tilt-Up structure is still unique. However, Commercial Superflat (CSF) had previous Tilt-Up experience in the area and hoped that this building could be showcased to potential clients as well as launch a new market in multi-story Tilt-Up construction. To reduce costs, Commercial Superflat re-used casting beds and broke them up after completion to use for a parking lot base.
Special attention was paid to the color choices, and the three tone scheme of the building complements the forest green glazing and entry porte-cochère canopy.
As a main focus on a prominent roadway in the town of Oldsmar, the owner wanted it to have maximum visual impact. The inlay reveals on the upper entry panels were painted to match the design of the window glazing, and staggered panels at the main and side entries combine with the darker color of the building to provide striking depth and Class A elements.
