From Massage Envy to Modern Sanctuary: The Remedy Spa & Salon Suites Build-Out

Location

East Broad Street, Columbus, Ohio

Project Type

Commercial Tenant Build-Out, Full Interior Renovation

Previous Use

Massage Envy

The Project

When Remedy Spa & Salon Suites signed a lease in a commercial plaza on East Broad Street, they needed a contractor who could transform an existing Massage Envy into a fully operational spa and salon environment, one that balanced functionality, luxury, and code-compliant precision for a high-traffic beauty and wellness concept. The company chose Columbus Building Co. to manage the complete interior renovation and tenant build-out, coordinating all trades from demolition through final cleaning.

The Scope of Work

Remedy Spa & Salon Suites required a full transformation of the existing space with multiple services, including:

Interior Demolition

Full demo of the existing Massage Envy layout to prepare the space for a new salon and spa configuration.

Metal Framing and Drywall

New wall configurations to support the salon suite layout and spa environment.

Plumbing

Plumbing-intensive layout to support multiple salon stations, spa treatment rooms, and restroom facilities.

Electrical

High-capacity electrical to support salon and spa equipment throughout the space.

HVAC

Ventilation modifications to support proper airflow and equipment needs across a large commercial space.

Commercial Flooring

Durable finish selections suited for high-traffic salon and spa use.

Interior Painting and Finish Work

Finishes selected to create the upscale ambiance the concept required.

Fixture and Equipment Installation

Full installation of salon and spa fixtures, coordinated with mechanical trades.

ADA Compliance

Complete adherence to Columbus ADA requirements, including signage, fixture heights, and accessibility accommodations.

Permitting and Inspections

Full permit coordination and inspection management through certificate of occupancy.

The Challenge

A project of this scale required careful review of the existing architectural plans before demolition and construction began. Early in the process, Columbus Building Co. worked through the plans to identify opportunities to simplify certain details and improve efficiency without impacting the overall design intent. This collaborative approach helped streamline portions of the project while keeping the client’s vision intact.

Because the client was located out of state and unable to visit the project site frequently, maintaining clear communication throughout construction was especially important. Columbus Building Co. provided regular progress updates and ongoing coordination to ensure the client remained informed and confident in the direction of the project from start to finish.

The Result

Remedy Spa & Salon Suites opened as a fully operational, code-compliant, and beautiful spa and salon environment, delivering the functionality and upscale atmosphere the concept demanded. The client was kept informed and confident throughout the process, a direct result of the transparent communication systems Columbus Building Co. puts in place on every project.
