J.M. Cope Construction Co., Inc.

Scope Of Work

As part of the redevelopment of Rock Hill’s core known as Knowledge Park, the $22 million renovation of the Lowenstein Building will transform a former Rock Hill Printing and Finishing (Bleachery) property into a 160,000 SF office space, civic, and retail property that targets investment of knowledge economy businesses. The modern, tech-oriented interior revitalizes a building that was once a part of the booming textile economy of the region. By retaining the existing building, the project honors Rock Hill’s rich history while demonstrating the ability of the community to adapt and thrive in changing economic times. Since 2013, J.M. Cope has assisted the project owner and architects in developing budgets in the early phases of the project’s design to help steer the design team in the right direction to stay within the owner’s budget. This historic building connects the past mill history with a more modern entrance that speaks to looking toward the future. By innovatively adapting the existing materials, J.M. Cope made the building energy efficient while still closely resembling the original look
