I heard about this the other day from Carol at the Jazz Arts Group - they arranged to move across the street for the project. Now would be a great time to remember what she said they had going in there, but alas it is Friday after 5pm...

I've always wondered what such a process entails, with so many squat buildings in the city. Does anyone know whether most buildings can just be built up like this? I imagine a lot of contemporary buildings aren't strong enough.
I like buildings that are taller for aesthetic reasons, and you get more use out of the building's footprint.

When the Wood Companies initially renovated this row the structure was put in place so as to accept stories on top.
I feel that the black painted wood in the shape of a garage door just behind of Northstar may become the garage entrance for residents, etc.
It's great news for me - being located right across the street in a gorgeous historic double-bayed window Edwardian-like storefront.
May my architects, engineers, the city and all powers that be bless my space and help me to open my doors.

Talked to an employee at one of the businesses in this block. He said that the addition is going to happen, and prep work maybe? has already begun.
Behind Kaica, Jazz, PG, Zpizza, and Northstar is th whole other half of the building that is broken into various rooms and is rather dilapidated. There are dozens of (newish) gas hookups with no meters attached and that garage door looking thing facing W. 2nd Ave is just a front.
What was that building in the past? Department store?

nice!!!!! i wonder how much Kroger finally pulling the trigger will spur other developers to do the same.According to the article, it took the developer a while to secure financing which came after some cost cutting and shoping around for a lender. The Wood Companies track record was also a factor along with signed leases for the office space. I don't know if the Kroger was a factor...
