Heritage Tower

The Milton Building

Location: Battle Creek, MI
Project Type: Building Facade Restoration

About this Project

In October of 2018, a massive renovation project began on the historic Milton Building (formerly known as Heritage Tower) in downtown Battle Creek. The nineteen-floor limestone building is one of the oldest in Battle Creek and has been renovated into beautiful new apartments.

RAM mobilized in a multi-phased effort to bring the historic façade back to its former glory; the scope of repairs necessary to do so included limestone patching, limestone crack repairs, and in some areas, limestone replacement with new pieces. Removal and replacement of sealants and mortar was also necessary, and a multi-step façade cleaning has proven effective in washing away years of dirt and debris.

After sitting vacant for nearly a decade, RAM has been proud to play a role in revitalizing this historic beauty!

"I wanted to let you know that your guy did a good job for us. this project has several systemic problems. Vehicles getting stuck, and difficulty accessing the project.

He is a solid asset for RAM and someone that I look forward to working with in the future."

"I would like to take this time and recognize Warren for his work on the Ford Hub project in Dearborn, MI as it relates to the foundation and under slab waterproofing and vapor mitigation systems. Warren has shown an extended dedication an effort to this project and assisted in our efforts to provide the customer with a quality product and installation. This particular project has had numerous challenges as it relates to the project design, manufacturer’s requirements, and stringent project schedule. Warren has shown an extended effort which include but not limited to immediate responsiveness to current work being put in place, issues resulting from inspections, managing and appropriating field crews for work in multiple areas, and assisting in resolving issues with the waterproofing and vapor mitigation systems. We appreciate his positive attitude on a daily basis, and consistent work ethic."

"Jason provides astounding leadership, an acute ability to comprehend what needs to be done, and executes in an extremely timely fashion without sacrificing quality or safety. Since he joined our project team he has been very responsive, a go getter, and if we lived in a perfect world I believe the entire masonry restoration scope would have been complete before the first snow fall. He is also not shy about speaking out if there is an issue vs taking the easier route and passing the buck onto the next person or next trade or down the road leaving an issue for GRPS or RC to deal with. He has helped our team with expanding our knowledge on masonry work in general and has provided lessons that our team to take to the next project and beyond."
