Accessibility is no longer an afterthought in modern construction but a fundamental expectation. At Poli Construction, we believe every space should be designed to serve everyone seamlessly, without compromise.
That belief came to life in our recent $1.6 million interior and exterior ADA modernization project for 1400 Winter Park LLC in Winter Park, Florida. This project wasn’t just about meeting compliance standards, it was about elevating the entire user experience through thoughtful design, strategic planning, and precise execution.
From upgraded entrances to fully renovated interiors, this transformation reflects what’s possible when accessibility, functionality, and modern design align.

What Was the Goal of This ADA Modernization Project?
The primary objective was clear: transform an existing property into a fully ADA-compliant, accessible, and modernized facility without disrupting its usability or long-term value.
For 1400 Winter Park LLC, this meant going beyond surface-level improvements. This project focused on reimagining how people move through and interact with shared environments, ensuring accessibility was integrated at every touchpoint across the property’s spaces.
This included:
- Enhancing entry points for ease of access
- Modernizing shared interior spaces and corridors
- Upgrading infrastructure to meet current ADA standards
- Improving overall aesthetics to match a professional, contemporary environment
With over 15 years of experience in commercial construction across Central Florida, Poli Construction approached this project with a deep understanding of both regulatory requirements and real-world usability.

How Did Poli Construction Upgrade Accessibility Across the Property?
Delivering a fully accessible environment required a comprehensive approach, addressing both interior and exterior elements in a cohesive and intentional way.
Key improvements included:
- Elevator refurbishment to ensure reliable, compliant vertical access
- Modernized front and rear entrances, improving flow and accessibility
- New ADA-compliant storefront doors with push-button entry systems
- Complete restroom renovations, designed for accessibility and durability
- Upgraded main lobby and corridors on every level for improved navigation
- New paver walkways and ADA parking spaces
Each enhancement was designed to work together, creating a cohesive experience that allows individuals to move through the property with ease, confidence, and independence.
According to the Americans with Disabilities Act, accessible design plays a critical role in ensuring equal access to public spaces while also reducing liability and improving long-term property value.
Why ADA Compliance Is Critical in Modern Commercial Spaces
ADA compliance is often viewed as a regulatory requirement, but in reality, it’s a strategic investment in both usability and asset performance.
Modern property owners and developers are recognizing that accessibility expands usability to a broader audience, enhances tenant satisfaction and retention and future-proofs assets against evolving regulations.
