Announcement from the CRA:
"Work is quickly progressing on the renovation and remodeling of 704 Lake Avenue. In February 2024, this property received CRA grant assistance to extensively remodel the upstairs portion of this historic building.
Unbeknownst to many people, this 90-year-old building contains a second floor with over 3,000 sq. ft. of antiquated space. This open space contains an impressive arched ceiling, wood floors and overlooks the hustle and bustle of the street below. However, this upstairs space contains no working utilities or HVAC and was historically used for storage.
The owner is currently in the process of modernizing the space to convert it to 10 new micro-offices, meeting rooms, bathrooms and breakrooms.
This undertaking requires new electrical, drywall, plumbing, HVAC, carpentry, flooring, painting and furnishings. In addition, new windows have been added around the perimeter of the building. The work at this property is expected to be completed and ready for new tenants by the end of 2024."

That’s nice to see a win for everyone and gentrification is a good thing.
The bad is the alleyway behind these properties is full of trash, beer cans and bottles everywhere I can’t understand why nothing is ever done besides a neighborhood cleanup once or twice a year or before the street painting fest?
