Is there any update to the status of the Fowler building, or the other buildings in the Merchant's row part of Woodward? There was a sign in the Fowler window several months ago advertising condos for sale, but I haven't seen any activity there for a while now. | ||

Which building is that, Tetsua? Address or exact location? Maybe a photo if you have one! Livedog2 | ||

I don't have any pictures available, but it's the building directly to the south of "Breakfast House". | ||

The Fowler Building is at 1229 Woodward Avenue(1221-1239 Woodward). It's between the Merchants Row - Building A (Heyns Bazaar), southern most building in Merchants Row, and the R.H. Traver Building, Romanesque-styled building faced in heavy red sandstone. (far left, photo by forumer Adamjab)  (Message edited by lmichigan on July 30, 2006) | ||

Owner doesn't have the money to develop it. The building has no parking hard to sell something for 200 sq/f when you don't have parking. | ||

I went inside that Fowler Building for a tour. The owner at that time showed me that model loft and a upcomming resturant. Like Merchantgander said now money and no parking spaces means no loft development. The owner just waisted its investment money and soon he will owner the creditors a lot. So the Fowler building will just have to be vacant eyesore until the bank or a mortage company force the owner to sell the building to another sucker. | ||

Isn't the CVS parking structure just a few storefronts down? It's not attached parking, but it seems like a viable option. | ||

The CVS Parking structure is for those who live and work in the Charter One Bank Building. | ||

Yeah, but there are big banners on the side of it, advertising monthly parking opportunities. | ||

Stop it, you two. This clever back-and-forth banter is giving me a headache! | ||

I guess the Fowler is the one with the shitter out front in the photo above? ^ | | | Livedog2 |
