Historic Garment District building will be dressed up with new lofts
http://tinyurl.com/hyxvuxsAnother historic downtown building is slated for residential conversion.
On Wednesday, the Land Clearance for Redevelopment Authority board is scheduled to consider a request for a 10-year, 100 percent property tax abatement to support the conversion of the Oggi Furniture Building at 600 Central St. into 25 loft-style apartments.
Re: OFFICIAL - Oggi Lofts (600 Central)
Anyone heard any updates on this project? I live near this building and haven't seen significant progress, just a construction dumpster. A couple weeks ago, I noticed many of the building windows were left open overnight during a large rainstorm--although they then wisely closed them in advance of the July 27 storm. I'm wondering if work has actually stalled out for some reason, or if progress just seems slow since I can see it pretty much daily.

noticed the same. if i had to guess, they don't have their tax credits (the article says they would seek them) or financing yet.

Construction workers have been busy as beavers on this building for several weeks now. Some of the old ghost windows and doors facing the south alley have been opened up--and the liberated bricks were promptly moved a few feet and re-used to close up other alley windows. Presumably it's to accommodate a shift in interior floorplan. It's been an interesting process to watch.

Can confirm. A lot of activity going on, as my office window looks right at the building I have seen a lot pick up over the past few weeks.DaveKCMO wrote:good to hear! i was just stalking this project over the weekend and it was hard to see progress with no workers on site.HalcyonKC wrote:Construction workers have been busy as beavers on this building for several weeks now.

These look nice. Website shows only 2, one-bedroom units left. 23 leased is great in my opinion.
