There are two herculite doors leading into the building lobby that serve as public entrance points. There is also a side door to 6th street and a back entrance to retail and the loading dock. In 2018, a new exterior canopy was added in addition to a sidewalk patio complete with exterior landscaping for the fast-casual Mediterranean restaurant, CAVA Mezze Grill.

In addition to the upgraded interiors, the elevators underwent a modernization of the control and operating systems. This state of the art ‘smart’ operating system allows the elevator’s control system to learn from patterns of operation.

One hydraulic freight elevator. A traction elevator also serves the 25th and 26th floors.

515 Congress has 1 Air Handler Unit (AHU) per floor and upgraded the BAS (Building Automated System) in 2019. The updated BAS includes chilled water valves which allow the building to reduce energy expenditure when cooling the building. The BAS design allows engineers to change the temperature at each set point throughout the building remotely. Our tenant portal, Tenant Eye, is designed to allow tenants to request after-hour HVAC themselves, triggering the system automatically.

The plumbing systems include the municipal domestic water service, which supplies domestic cold and hot water systems, irrigation piping, and fire suppression sprinkler systems. The domestic cold and hot water piping systems supplies the building entirely with water. Domestic water pressure is boosted by a duplex pump system, located in the lower-level mechanical room.
