Initial Restoration
1996
Exterior and interior improvements resulted in the conversion of former R.E.I storage and retail space into 34,600 SF of office for AEI Music’s national account operations.
Improvements included restoring the exterior to its original grace: rebuilding the wood storefront, sandblasting and tuck pointing all the brick, and reinforcing the building parapets. Expanded entries were added to better connect with the existing streetscape.

Gary Manuel Aveda Institute
2004
After Malone sold AEI Music, he leased 12,000 SF of the building to Gary Manuel Aveda, a spa and salon school. To accommodate the beauty institute, Hunters Capital added offices and classrooms, in conjunction with an 8,000 SF refurbishment of ground level salon space. The wide-open showroom space, spiral staircase, and skylights attracted clients and student alike. In the fall of 2019, Gary Manuel downsized and ended their long tenure as a tenant.

Poquitos

The historic nature of the interior lends itself well to the Old World ambience of Poquitos.
