A.D. Owens Construction Renovation Project in Orlando Wins Golden Brick Award


ORLANDO, Fla., May 18, 2010 — The renovation of the historical 60 N. Court Avenue building (top left photo)  completed last May by A.D. Owens Construction Corp. has won the Golden Brick award in the category of interior projects for the owner, Old Florida National Bank.

A.D. Owens Construction performed the work under a design-build contract with the owner.

The façade of the 1920s building was kept intact and the first two floors of the three-story, 12,000-square-foot structure were renovated. The result is a ground level retail bank and second floor office space, in what has since become the headquarters of Old Florida National Bank. Hunton Brady Architects provided the design.
