seems weird to do this decades after it closed, and several years into a development proposal....

Don't people have their deposits locked up here? I agree its weird that the City years later comes in and does this.

Only slightly related, but I was cycling past this building at night 2 weeks ago and saw Stinson outside with a hammer and plywood repairing the hoarding over one of the doors. Guy is such a character, in a city full of characters.

It’s only weird if Stinson were actually moving things here. Balls’ in his court.

So now because of the city's designation we are going to have another building that will sit and fall down due to neglect. There was no reason for this designation at this time with a development proposal at hand. All this is going to do is add costs and kill the proposal no matter how tenuous it was to begin with.

Knowing Stinson's track record, it's unlikely the proposal would have gone far.

Hallelujah. Sell it to Core Urban, please and thank you.

According to Joey Coleman on Bluesky, "there are confidential (and substantive) talks occurring to put together an affordable housing bid." Maybe Indwell? Anyway, we'll find out soon enough when the bids are unsealed.

Thankful that it will come out of the hands of Stinson. I am sure Core Urban would do a bang up job, but I think they will stick to the James Street corridor (or a block or ttwo off either side of it). Indwell would make a fabulous partner , hope they dont get outbid by Vrancor!

No way Indwell has the money for all the remediation work required here

They might if they can pick the property up for $669k.

Unlikely, but any builder here is going to be pricing in the remediation requirements..
