Demolition Makes Way for Esmark Headquarters

One final structure on the site of Esmark’s future $9 million global headquarters has been razed to make way for new construction.

John Burger, developer and part owner of the Esmark Center, said the former Edgeworth Mews buildings were demolished Dec. 29 off Route 65 in . The buildings were believed to have been built in the 1920s.

Burger also owns the self-storage units that were previously relocated from the Hazel Lane site to 1500 Railroad St. in . 

Although the demolition is complete, the work site will not sit dormant over the winter.

Burger said permits are in place and crews are set to continue on the development. Once the property is cleaned up a bit more, Burger said they'll be ready to start with construction. 

"We're working right through the winter," he said.

Plans include a three-story, 39,000-square foot structure that incorporates a rooftop patio and 27 underground parking spaces. About 25 Esmark tenants will reside in the building, while the remaining space will be open to . 

Burger said the building should be up by the spring, with construction expected to be complete by December 2012.
