EMC begins work on 1006 Grand renovation

Design/Build project to renovate the historic 1006 Grand office building into 125 living units, with 2 additional floors of amenities.
1006 Grand was originally built in 1909 as a five story building known as The Gates Building. Over the next 20 years additions were completed to expand the building to its current seventeen story height and it became known as The Homes Savings Association Building. The renovation will maintain the integrity of the historic qualities of this building, while offering modern apartment amenities.
EMC is successfully meeting a very accelerated schedule on this project, which is scheduled for completion in November 2010.
EMC also helped meet MBE/ WBE participation on this project, funded in part by a federal stimulus program grant announced in August 2009.
Especially noteworthy is that EMC is meeting the 2006 International IBC code for high-rise smoke control on this project.
EMC was one of the 1st mechanical contractors in Kansas City to successfully meet IBC’s 2006 high-rise smoke control requirements, on the Valentine Apartments at 3724 Broadway Boulevard completed in 2009.
