Project Description
D-A-S Construction Co. is serving as the general contractor for the construction of The Market Café at the AmTrust Business Center in downtown Cleveland Ohio. The 5,500 square foot café will serve organically grown foods and will be located in the former site of Charles Schwab financial services at the corner of E. 9th and Chester. The existing space has been demolished to the bare structure with all possible materials salvaged for recycling. New mechanical systems will be installed to accommodate the new use of the space not only in the café itself but through two floors of occupied space with minimal disruption to bank activities. New rooftop equipment will be located on the roof of the 3rd floor. The completed Café will feature a farmer's market theme. Further "green building" techniques are included in the finishes and furniture of the space through the use of lumber reclaimed from demolished barns for use in tables and wall finishes. A full service kitchen as well as three separate "short order" stations will be included in the finished space. The Café is scheduled to open in the fall of 2007.
