Project Description

Clock Tower Centre represents the most recent project of a larger renovation and restoration of downtown Kankakee. Located at the corner of Schuyler Avenue and Merchant Street and across from the Clock Tower Park, the completed restoration will transform the former Arcade Building into an aesthetically pleasing and functional professional and educational facility. The building sits adjacent to Clock Tower Plaza which will be immediately east of the Depot.

In addition to providing professional office space, Clock Tower Centre will house educational programs for Governor’s State University and Kankakee Community College.

The architectural details of the current façade and interior will be preserved while upgrading of infrastructure and replacement of all windows and elevators takes place. In this manner the character and history of the structure will be retained as functional amenities are improved. HDC will custom design the suites for all Clock Tower Centre tenants. The building will also include security for all stairways and elevators to control access to tenant suites as their needs dictate. A fully automatic sprinkler system for fire protection will be installed and all code requirements will be fully addressed.
