HISTORICAL
At Echelon, historic preservation and adaptive reuse projects are not treated as isolated design or compliance exercises. Instead, we develop timeless designs integrated with financially responsible pathways intended to help historic structures thrive into the future—recognizing that preservation succeeds when it can be thoughtfully designed, constructed, and responsibly funded.
Looking for a way to bring a structure back to life for your community? We’re here to help you develop a path forward to the next century.
Taking the pain out of tax credit-earning projects.
Preservation that Performs.
Preservation that Performs.
Integrated Expertise
Our Historic Division brings together four critical disciplines that must work in harmony for preservation projects to succeed:
-
Strategic financial planning that evaluates and, where feasible, leverages incentives, tax credits, grants, and complementary funding opportunities to support long-term project feasibility.
-
Thoughtful architectural solutions that respect historic character while supporting modern use, code requirements, and operational efficiency.
-
Expertise grounded in state and national preservation standards, with a focus on supporting regulatory compliance while protecting historic integrity.
-
Construction knowledge informed by general contracting experience, allowing designs to be grounded in real-world constructability and cost control.
A Holistic Preservation Philosophy.
Echelon approaches each historic project through an integrated lens that combines architectural design excellence, preservation expertise, construction cost intelligence, and financial strategy. This comprehensive approach is intended to help projects move beyond preservation alone by prioritizing fiscal responsibility, regulatory compliance, and long-term sustainability over time.
