A vacant, three-story brick building
along North Main Avenue is being renovated, and developers
have another, longer-range improvement in mind for the
neighborhood.
The L&A Baking Co. building at 910
N. Main Ave, includes 8,812 square feet spread over three
floors.
"We've stabilized the building. We have a new roof on
it," says architect Jeff Hazard, who heads the investment
group Falls Overlook
LLC. "We are just about to start working on the interior of
the building."
The owners also are looking for
tenants or a buyer. The building is listed for sale with
Cirrus Commercial Realty Services for $395,000.
Neil Schmid of Cirrus says the group seeks tenants to
help generate money for extensive interior renovations.
A metal building attached to the brick building
probably will be removed and reconstructed elsewhere, Hazard
says. Then, in four or five years, the group would like to
build condominiums on land just south and east of the old
bakery building, he says.
The condos would overlook Falls Park
as well as the Uptown area.
"It does have a fantastic view of the falls," Schmid says.
