Our client
Located close to the waterfront in downtown Mobile, the RSA Battle House Tower holds the title of tallest building in Alabama. The 42-story structure houses close to 500,000 square feet of office space and is leased at over 95% occupancy to multiple prestigious tenants. The building is owned by the Retirement Systems of Alabama (RSA), the company that provides pension funds administration for employees of the state of Alabama.
Project highlights
Their challenge
The construction of this state-of-the-art commercial tower commenced in conjunction with the restoration and renovation of its historic neighbor, the Battle House Renaissance Hotel. Salas O’Brien was selected to provide engineering design services for the hotel as well as the commercial tower, and the projects aimed to collaborate and connect the two.
Our solution
Our work on this project included full mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and fire protection design services as well as construction administration for the tower base building and multiple tenant areas.
The results
As a result of the collaborative renovation and construction, the tower and hotel connect and share access to many luxuriously designed event spaces. With excellent design, beautiful architecture, and a lighted crown that’s visible from up to 30 miles away along Mobile Bay, the finished tower is one of the most highly regarded office buildings in Mobile.
