PROJECT DETAILS

  • 20,000 SF
  • 2 Stories
  • Glass vestibule
  • Two-story loading dock addition
  • Community prep kitchen
  • Repurposed elevator shaft
  • Restored and resealed windows

A historic, 20,000 SF building was restored and converted into Bargain Grocery – an affordable grocery store. The building features a new glass vestibule, a two-story loading dock addition, a community prep kitchen and additional food storage. Still reading as an early 20th century manufacturing facility, the building was renovated with respect to its original character. Excavation of the interior posed a challenge due to the close proximity of the city’s existing public roads.
