In order for anyone to win a contract to renovate it the building would need to be owned by someone willing to renovate it. Unless it was sold recently the current owners are a foreign company, I believe it's Japanese, who have no plans to renovate and have declined offers to sell it. I hope this gorgeous historic building will eventually get the renaissance it deserves. It could be so great.
ReplyDeleteI agree. From what I understand it's changed ownership a couple times over the past 5 years and the current owners are just sitting on it despite the millions + it's taken to keep it up to code...
ReplyDeleteWe need some owners with guts, AND vision for what this building could be if they just invested. Easy for me to say it's not my money.
