The Drever The panels will be refurbished by cladding the natural stone to an aluminum backer panel.

DALLAS—Drever Capital Management‘s 1.5-million-square-foot redevelopment of the former First National Bank of Dallas building at 1401 Elm St. is well underway. The project is scheduled to be complete by the end of 2018, with the building opening in the first quarter of 2019. In total, The Drever redevelopment will include a luxury high-rise offering 324 residential units, a Thompson Hotel planned with 218 rooms, spa, retail, office and destination restaurants.

The next step has begun, which consists of removing and restoring the historic marble slab panels on the building’s façade. The panels will be refurbished by cladding the natural stone to a structural aluminum honeycomb backer panel, which will ensure the engineering integrity and the historical value of the original marble slabs. The highest quality materials available were sourced during the original construction, importing the white marble slabs from the same quarry in Greece as the marble used to build the Parthenon.
