PONTIAC, MI-Local development company Turner Group has a new home in space in two historic buildings it owns and has renovated in Downtown Pontiac. The three-story, 15,000-sf 18 W. Lawrence Building has a total of 10,000 sf still available for lease in a variety of flexible sizes, adds building owner Jay Turner.

Originally built in 1915, the building underwent a total gut restoration in 2004. “We retained many of the details that make 18 W. Lawrence unique–14-foot ceilings, exposed ductwork and brick and wet plaster walls–while adding modern necessities like all new mechanical systems and high efficiency windows,” Turner says.

The building’s first tenant, a firm called A Work in Progress that provides job development and job placement for individuals with disabilities, moved into a 1,500-sf suite in late 2004, Turner says. Turner also moved his Turner Group headquarters into the building, relocating from another historic building he renovated across the street at 29 W. Lawrence. He recently leased most of that building tointellectual property law firm Dobrusin & Thennisch, P.C., which moved from Downtown Birmingham.
