Designed for single- or multi-tenant occupancy, the completely renovated building features 86,169sf of highly efficient office space on three floors and comes with a 3.7 parking ratio and front-desk security. To open the lobby to more natural light, MPA redesigned the main entrance with a new two-story glass vestibule.

An additional 6,000sf of office space was gained by lowering the building grade and moving mechanical equipment to the roof. The sustainable upgrade of 610 Lincoln Street North includes new HVAC systems, windows, electrical systems, and fireproofing.
