Project Description
“The decision to relocate was logical in our business strategy; DRPILLA continues to grow in readiness for the delivery of our plan. The building is designed with advanced technologies and amenities that will enable us to accommodate our clients more effectively and efficiently.”
The DRPILLA team recently completed the gut renovation of a 9,000-square-foot, three-story office building located on Main Street in the heart of Nyack, NY. Originally built in the late 1800’s, the modifications preserve the original brick exterior and detailing while providing a modern workspace designed to maximize creativity, collaboration and innovation. The new space features enhanced staff facilitates including new workstations in an open work plan, multiple meeting and conference rooms, and elevator and a café. Unique elements of the building include exposed brick walls, wood flooring and large windows to bring natural light into the space. Our team of in-house professionals provided all the architectural, structural, site / civil, mechanical engineering and design, approvals and construction management for the project.

A Cornerstone of Downtown Nyack
Extensive attention was given to all aspects of the building envelope to maximize energy efficiency, from structural remediation and bolstering to waterproofing of the shell. By combining our in-house expertise in structural engineering and whole building system solutions, we achieved an architectural vision in a truly efficient and dynamic manner. Additionally, new signage compliments the highly visible office located on the corner of South Franklin and Main Street in the heart of downtown Nyack.
