IMEG provided mechanical, electrical, plumbing and fire protection engineering services for this high profile, major renovation project called THE BLOC, in Downtown Los Angeles.  

The historic Macy’s Downtown L.A. underwent a $160 million upgrade and was renamed THE BLOC. New developments at the site include a 23-story 485-room Sheraton Hotel, along with major upgrades to the hotel such as a new swimming pool and hotel gym with a goal to reach 4-star status; and a 33-story office tower building with creative office space aimed at the growing entertainment, technology, and media companies in Los Angeles. In addition, this redevelopment details a plan to build a direct pedestrian connection between THE BLOC and the very busy 7th/Metro subway station across the street. 

This project is currently pursuing LEED Gold and WELL certifications.
