Republic and 15th
With rentals getting snapped up seemingly as fast as they're available I think this development in OTR is really cool, we got a tour of it on the Spirit of Christmas Tour last weekend to show what could be done with an abandoned church. The ground level is currently used as a fab shop but the top of the church has been turned into two airy light filled apartments.
At the time this church was built churches all had a large community room on ground level and you went up steps to the level where services were held.
And they aren't that expensive, at least by downtown standards for something this large and cool, they're talking $900 - 1000 range. I know I'll get blasted for calling a grand a month affordable but that's where we're headed like it of not.
The two apartments should be available around April 2012.

thanks for the heads up. do you have contact info for them, by chance? i'm looking to leave Shillitos when my lease is up. i just can't stand those paper thin walls and listening to my neighbor's horrible taste in music... and making smoothies every morning at 6:30... and her drunk friends at 2am, etc. such a great apartment building totally ruined by poorly insulated walls.
ReplyDeleteAwesome way to preserve an old church
ReplyDeleteI don't undertand how there's a typo on a street sign.
ReplyDeleteIts almost like I work in the sign shop isn't it!

ReplyDeleteBob, I will never stop loving the fact that you don't take yourself too seriously. So many people could learn from you!
Holy cow! I didn't know they did all that in there! I walk and drive by that building all the time and thought they had just stabilized it and that was it. Great to see it looking nice again!
