Cobblestone Offices 5.05.08
The final phase of the “Cobblestone Alive” project is coming along as most of the windows above the 1st floor are in except for the ones that are interfered with by the electrical poles (seriously? 21st century and downtown still has some of these?!). Work is starting on the 1st floor exterior and some of the roof was removed for structural reasons.
Movement only beginning in the process of creating “Benchwarmers” at the remaining vacancy at the terminal building nextdoor. Probably no opening till late Summer.
Went to Cleveland and saw their Warehouse District (more on this in a future post). Makes our ‘Cobblestone District’ look like a joke. Nonetheless-this block will be an asset to downtown and should attain some attention since thousands of people from around the region park in front of it 50+ times a year anyways.

The entire block is looking great… sad though that the 36 condo/lofts ended up being mostly office space and nine tenant apartments… 36 investing owners could have made this so much more.
Would it not be awesome to see the Illinois St side of this block now come to life? Those buildings are so cool and have so much potential.

You should high tail it over to the Martin House and see what is up with the visitor center
