Grace Cleaners

Absolutely fantastic reuse!! Very nicely done. I hope to see more of this quality of reuse throughout this particular area as there are so many opportunities in Film Row.

Is this a new company or did they relocate from another space? I have not heard of them.

IMO it looks a little run down. No loss there.

That building looks great.

One thing I have noticed lately is very high quality landscaping being installed not only downtown but around the metro.

I think civic pride is starting to catch on with some developers (even those who don't focus on downtown) and therefore helping to improve landscaping going in around town.

Agree about the landscaping!

Not only have standards been raised, landscape architecture has come a long way since our last big round of development in the 80's. Just look at the difference between the Myriad Gardens then and now.

This is an area where there are lots more dedicated professionals and much more is know about irrigation, hardscape and what types of plants thrive and look good depending on climate and setting.

I think your last point is dead on. My parents live in Del City, and the last time I was there I noticed they're upgrading the streets and putting in nice landscaping. In Del City. Never thought I'd see that. People are actually showing civic pride. It's amazing.

We have an answer regarding the old Grace Cleaners sign.

They will be keeping the same structure and changing the sign itself:

That'll look great when it's all said and done.

I agree!

The owners of this building have done a fantastic job.

Great and creative way to repurpose the sign in a way that ties into the history while making it relevant for current tenants.
