Brighton Block | 24m | 6s | Primavera | Hodgson Schilf Evans

Well the Neon museum is looking for more space for more historical Neon signs. This would be a fantastic location for it!

Just got a tour from Primavera. Story and photos tomorrow! Amazing building, they did such a great job on it.

Apparently the asking price for the "Seafood building" is $1.9M, which I'm told is a bit steep. I guess the owner is in no hurry to sell.

^ ...and yet property taxes must be killing him/her. He/she must have other land holdings to set off against the losses on this property. The building itself cannot justify the asking, so the owner must be putting all of his stock in the land value and just biding his time until someone coughs up something close to the asking. There are better deals surrounding his/her property so I suspect he/she is stuck for a long period of waiting.

Someone should feign interest to see what the state of the existing building is.

Basement:


Interestingly, the transformer is located in the basement (didn't get a photo of it); EPCOR hooked it up, but it is owned by the building which I guess is a bit unusual. Necessary, though, as the building nearly completely fills the property footprint.

The huge glass wall on the back looks amazing. Too bad the view from there is lackluster (but you can EASILY keep an eye on your car)

@ronron Really hope to see more of those lots disappear once the Valley Line is running and a few more of the developments in the area come online.

The rear lane view has just as much appeal as the Jasper Ave. view.
