REAL ESTATE DEVELOPMENT


Real Estate Development & Adaptive Reuse

Whiskey Bay Development Corporation was formed in 2008 to assist Studio S27, Inc. with its real estate activities. The purpose of the development corporation is to provide a full-time, professional effort in real estate development, most particularly in the restoration and adaptive reuse of historic buildings.

Whiskey Bay specializes in restoration and adaptive reuse of historic buildings. In the real estate world, adaptive reuse is taking a historic building and giving it a new life. Loft housing is a good example of an adaptive reuse development. As products of the Industrial Revolution, these warehouses once served as industrial centers; today these warehouses serve as loft housing. Adaptive reuse, along with brownfield reclamation, is also seen by many as a key factor in land conservation and reducing the amount of sprawl. In terms of smart growth, it is much more efficient and environmentally responsible to redevelop older buildings closer to the urban core than to build new buildings on farm fields.

Whiskey Bay also provides design consultation and/or general contracting services for restoration services; from restoring an entire façade of an Art Deco Building to rebuilding a Country Cottage Kitchen. Whiskey Bay specializes in both interior and/or exterior elements: windows, doors, lighting, façade treatments, roofing materials, gutters, etc.

Whiskey Bay prides itself on its comprehensive knowledge of typical construction types, styles, and materials common to the Midwest and the Gulf Coast.
