Scope Of Work

The renovation of the Delaware Trust Building complex was to create the renamed Residences at Rodney Square. The complex project consisted of the original south building, the two east and west wings and the black glass Hercules Tower. In order to allow more natural light into each apartment unit and to recreate the courtyard between the wings, the Hercules Tower was demolished to ground level. The building demolition required critical planning and consistent communication to avoid disturbing the surroundings of the historic district. After demolition took place, the Gilbane team worked to refurbish the remaining historical buildings and revitalize them to become a luxury apartment complex.
