Same Slab, Reborn
Mixed-use retail, office, and entertainment on the former LTV site. It's the same slab, ground and densified to a light-reflective finish, so demolition isn't part of the job.

South Side Works questions, answered
Asked about South Side Works
What managers and contractors in South Side Works ask before they book a walkthrough.
Retail and restaurant entrances take the worst of winter here. What finish fits?
Vestibules and the first stretch of floor inside carry the salt, slush and wet shoes. We usually suggest a lower sheen or a traction-minded finish right at the doors and a higher polish deeper in the space, plus a mat zone long enough to do its job.
Can you work around a South Side tenant that can't close?
Often in phases, and sometimes overnight or in the hours you're least busy. We agree on the zones and the sequence with you first, so customers and staff always have a clear path.
Will polished concrete look right in a modern retail or fitness space?
It's a common choice for exactly that look, and it's the real slab, so there's no coating to scuff and peel under rolling carts or equipment, which means no recoating later. You choose the sheen, from soft satin to a clear reflection, and see a test area before the whole floor is done.
How do I start for a South Side Works space?
Give us your unit address, square footage and your lease or landlord requirements if there are any. We walk the space, check the slab and write a scope your landlord can read.
