Redevelopment
Cherokee's founders, the Robb Brothers alongside acoustician '"George Augspurger"', Lawrence Scarpa '"Pugh + Scarpa Architects"' and '"REthink Development"' designed live/work lofts in the spirit of Cherokee (recording) Studios' Studio 1. The enhanced sound control measures and unit layouts are designed for private, home living, recording and production. The two, premium units feature dedicated music production control, isolation, and tracking space already built to professional home studio specifications. Other units can quickly be adapted for music production.
The new lofts consists of 12 condominium live/work lofts and 2,800 square feet (260 m2) of retail space. The building is 5 stories, including 1 underground level of parking, first floor retail and parking, 3 floors of lofts on floors 2 though 4 as well as a rooftop deck and green roof.
The individual recording spaces are designed for artists and professionals in the creative industries. Musicians, composers, producers as well as film and television animators, directors and editors can fulfill their work duties in these studios. The recording space was designed by leading acoustician George Augspurger with Cherokee Studios founder and multi-platinum producer-engineer Bruce Robb.

Platinum is the highest certification level achievable.
