The 2100 Greenwood live / work lofts are located in the former Maine Steel fabricating building. The 40,000 square foot building was built in the early 50’s and was designed by former students of renowned architect Miles van der Rohe. The entire superstructure of the building is retained providing unique design elements rarely seen in new construction and is designed for adaptive reuse in support of the principals of Green and Sustainable Architecture. Come join us in this magnificent space for our Networking Breakfast (NWB). With more than 50 regular attendees, the NWB is one of our most popular events.
