The existing theater marquee was slightly modified to be used for advertisement signs. The two-story arch was preserved as the main entrance into the building, where a two-story atrium was designed. Additionally, it included the installation of a new handicapped elevator to service the new and existing floors. The completed retail and office building includes a cellar and three-story office spaces with a portion of the third floor connecting to a fourth floor addition through an internal staircase.
