Built in 1967, 444 West Ocean in Downtown Long Beach was calling for a major renovation in order to meet today’s changing business market needs and tenant expectations. The goal was to not only elevate the building’s brand in the local market, but also to introduce a creative and truly differentiating design aesthetic that would appeal to a broader spectrum of prospective tenants and their employees.

This project is the cornerstone of the west campus for Saint Mary’s Regional Medical Center in Reno, Nevada and provides the gateway for the entrance to the campus. Ensemble was responsible for all aspects of project delivery, including master planning, financial structuring, development, and property management. The project includes an 1,100-space parking garage and landscaped public plaza, and the nearly 200,000-square-foot, six-story Saint Mary’s Center for Health building on 5.6 acres. Construction was completed in 2005.
