Eight Eleven Uptown

Eight Eleven Uptown is an ambitious redevelopment of a former hospital site that has lain vacant for more than a decade. The mixed-income housing and retail project includes construction of a 27-story residential tower with 381 apartments and eight townhouses. Its three-story podium structure contains a 30,000 SF retail space, parking and an outdoor terrace. The rooftop amenity offers a swimming pool and spa, and outdoor sitting areas among an expansive landscaped deck.

From the lighted signage to the dramatically lit spaces, the interiors were inspired by the rich history of the Uptown theater district and its historic Jazz-Age structures. The double-height lobby features gold accents and ribbed detailing inspired by brass instruments in a jazz band. A grand stair leads up to a gracious mezzanine that overlooks the reception space and the leasing area.

The Club Room embraces a vintage theatrical feel with highly textured surfaces, marble cladding, and upholstery rendered in sumptuous velvets accented with touches of burnished gold.  Under vaulted ceilings, walls are lined with curated with black and white photography.  In the Neighborhood Bar, bold emerald colors, a curvy divan, and stools that resemble champagne corktops add a touch of whimsy.
