It is not often that you hear of a project that was slated to be new condos switched to office space. PN Hoffman sent us an email yesterday announcing that their downtown condo project at 10th and G st will now be an office building. The planned project will include 140,000 sf of Class A office space on top of a newly constructed First Congregational United Church of Christ. The old church building will be completely replaced by the modern glass structure.

Cunningham + Quill Architects is handling the office space design, while NY-based Tod Williams Billie Tsien Architects has created plans for the church. Construction is set to begin in February, 2008 with an expected completion date in the fourth quarter of 2009.
