The renovation and adaptive reuse of the former Rein Co. Building preserves an important part of Allen Parkway's rapidly disappearing architectural heritage. The former printing company was built in 1928 in the popular Spanish Colonial style. Now known as the Clocktower Building, the project is a very visible historic preservation success. The project architect is Cisneros Design Studio.

Next winner: 22nd Street Lofts
