One of downtown Westport’s largest retail and office buildings, Westport 180 has enjoyed a premium location and exclusive parking access. In December 2014, construction was completed on a major exterior and interior redevelopment, transforming Westport 180 into a contemporary mixed-use property that drove occupancy rates from 56% to 90%.
Prior to the reconstruction, poor architectural design had adversely impacted the building's appeal as both an office and retail venue. Starting with a whole new vision, the building facade was completely redesigned to attract upscale companies and retailers. Sophisticated architectural details and attractive landscape features were combined with modern systems and elegant features throughout the building.
For businesses seeking office space, the second floor took on a decidedly more modern and urban-design with large windows overlooking downtown Westport. For the first floor retail units, the new design greatly increased the visual exposure that attracted national corporations like AT&T.
