Successfully completed a nearly four-year adaptive reuse of a 100+ year old chocolate factory into a boutique hotel and condominium complex. QB added a structural rooftop terrace to an existing four-story wing and constructed a connecting access walkway.
Adaptive reuse of historic structures demands sustained commitment over multi-year timelines. Quality Buildings' ability to deliver value engineering, quality, and cost containment across a nearly four-year project was cited as critical to the project's success.
A century-old chocolate factory reborn as a boutique hotel

The Wilbur is a 5-story mixed-use adaptive reuse project transforming the historic Wilbur Chocolate Factory complex—dating back over 100 years—into a boutique hotel, condominium residences, restaurant, and market. Given an accelerated project schedule, a pre-fab framing kit was essential to meet project deadlines across three wings. In addition to framing out the hotel rooms and condominiums, Quality Buildings added a rooftop terrace to one wing—requiring reinforcement of the existing structure to carry the added load. Because that wing was four stories tall and attached to the five-story hotel, Quality Buildings also constructed an access walkway between the hotel and the rooftop terrace. This nearly four-year project required sustained attention to value engineering, quality control, scheduling, and cost containment throughout.

"Quality Buildings provided the kind of attention to detail that provided impactful results in the areas of value engineering, quality control, scheduling, providing manpower, and cost containment. Without reservation, I recommend Quality Buildings for any future projects."
