The redevelopment of a shuttered and leaking Atlantic City, N.J., casino hotel ballooned from an interiors renovation into a complete curtain wall replacement, thanks to years of neglect and water intrusion. Plans call for two hotel towers—one with seven residential condominiums— restaurants, a retail mall and more.
Owner Colosseo Development Group Inc. obtained a construction permit last September to begin recladding the buildings with watertight glass curtain walls. Waterproofing the exterior is the biggest challenge associated with the renovation, which includes mold remediation and bringing the lighting, life safety and fire suppression systems up to current standards.
