Sean let it be known that it will cost the group over $150,000 (rebuilding, insurance, clearance and acquisition) just to shore up the south wall, which partially collapsed after the April 2nd storm.
Payment will be deferred, meaning ONSLRG will have time to secure funds to rehab the building, should they choose to. ONSLRG is asessing future plans for the building, but either lofts, a commercial art gallery, or some mixture of businesses and living space(s) are a pretty safe bet.
Fresh off plans for the 14th Street Mall first unveiled in the ACC here, ONSLRG is on quite a roll, and there will be much more to come.
