Western Specialty Contractors – Peoria, IL Branch completed a project to restore the exterior covered lobby entry at Twin Towers Place apartments in Downtown Peoria.
Twin Towers Place was built in 1984 and has 29 stories with 58 units in its two towers. Located at 123 SW Jefferson Ave., the complex features underground parking and views of Downtown Peoria.
Started in March 2021, the exterior entry restoration project included tearing off the weathered front and rear façade metal wall panels and soffit at the entrance, plus a canopy with two large skylights over the entry connecting the two apartment towers. Western’s craftsmen also replaced rotten wood where the canopy connected to the building, infilled the skylight opening, and resheathed the structure with new Carlisle EPDM roofing, PACLAD flush metal wall panels, and flush metal soffit.
During the process, the crew discovered broken plumbing pipes inside the canopy. Western’s experts made a quick change order to repair the plumbing and keep the project moving on schedule.
Western completed the project within two months and on budget to the satisfaction of the building’s ownership. Disruption to tenants entering and leaving the towers was minimal due to other available entrances throughout the complex.
