Work is underway to convert 130 Pearl Street into residential and commercial space. Architectural and engineering firm Trautman Associates is converting the upper floors of the office building into 14 apartments with the ground floor available for retail or office use. Trautman purchased the former home of Stewart Title Insurance Company for $660,000 in August 2020.
Trautman Associates is restoring the street front façade back to its original design. New terra cotta and glass storefronts will be installed to replicate what was once there. Interior apartments will have large windows and tall ceilings to create day-lit loft-type living spaces. A roof top terrace will be an added amenity for residents. Lower floor units will feature private outdoor patios in a rear courtyard.
Built in 1916, 130 Pearl Street is located between the Guaranty Building and the recently-renovated Cathedral Commons building in the Joseph Ellicott Historic District.
