BOH Building (before)
Built in the early 1950s, this 5,000-square-foot, all-metal, dilapidated, underutilized and blighted structure in an underserved community had seen better days. Through adaptive reuse, the building was transformed into a kosher catering kitchen for the largest caterer in the Southwest. This new life provides a much-needed resource for residents and visitors, generates jobs and serves as a catalyst for revitalization in the area.
