The American Center building is a premier 25-story office tower that
provides sweeping views of metropolitan Detroit within the 488,000
square feet of rentable space located at 27777 Franklin Road in
Southfield, MI. The American Center amenities include a
state-of-the-art conference center and an
integrated retail and
service complex.
The building was constructed in 1975 for American Motors Corporation.
American Center LLC purchased the building in March of 1998 and
REDICO manages the building. Over $5 million was spent on renovations
to the American Center both cosmetically and mechanically. The
mechanical renovations, at a cost of $3,253,186 have a payback of 5
years with a
yearly savings of over $620,000 and allowed the
building to qualify as an ENERGY STAR building.
To qualify as an ENERGY STAR building, the American Center replaced
its original lighting fixtures, which were a fluorescent F-40 Four
lamp with two standard magnetic ballasts. The new light is a Silver
Reflector and 2 F-32/T8
lamps and electronic ballast. REDICO
also changed the HVAC system to operate with a Variable Air Volume
system with Variable Frequency Drives on the main fans. The electric
boilers were replaced with high efficiency Lochvinar gas boilers lobby
was changed to hot water baseboard heat. Two new Trane chillers were
installed and a Variable Frequency Drive was installed on
the
domestic boost pump system. Finally, a Trane Tracer energy
management system was installed.
