Could the blue area become an apartment with commercial space on the ground level while the red would be a plaza with an art sculpture, maybe some sort of water feature? Keep the old building, build a new building next door. Add a pulic plaza with seating for the businesses on the ground level 18351

For some strange reason, the sale has yet to be posted to the county assessor site.

Yep. That would be great. All it takes is money.

Cain's Ballroom West?

About 30% smaller, though.

Side note, the sunset going to be sunning into that place big time. They should just call this the actual sunset patio.

Call it Sunset Grill. We could watch the working girls go by. Watch the basket people walk around and mumble. Gaze out at the auburn sky. Maybe we'll leave come springtime. Meanwhile, have another beer. What would we do without all these jerks anyway?

It's cool how the big windows are in the back (east end) as well.

Those HVAC ducts are likely to come down as they were installed along with the old retrofitted drop ceiling. Some of the duct work has already been removed.

You can see they're in the process of landscaping the perimeter. Have already pulled out the grass, trimmed the two trees and planted some several more.

It seems their plan is to continue cleaning up and restoring and then will probably redo the parking lot and lease out the space.

This property already looks way better than it has in decades.

Can't wait for Midtown Renaissance to work their magic and get some great new tenants. I bet there ends up being at least one large patio.

This pic gave me deja vu for some reason. Does anyone remember where the Gibsons Discount store was (near) downtown?

Remember when the Brown's building was Clyde's?
Quite the modern building for its day.
I remember the Gibson's! It was at 6th and Harvey on the SE corner.
National Memorial property today.

If it's too small just click for larger size (I think)

Hopefully they will power wash the roof. Lol. This can turn out to be a good little development if executed correctly. I am sure Midtown Investors have it worked out.

I think all flat roof buildings look like that from above. Can't see it from the street.

They have filed plans to rework the parking lot and landscaping. Looks like they left room for a couple of patios.
