Jennifer Ziegler, owner of Ziegler Designs
LLC, takes a tour of The Remington Rand building
. By the middle of next month demolition crews
will begin gutting much of the former downtown
factory, one of the first visible steps in creating
a mixed-use development including work/live
loft spaces on the Erie Canal, developers said
Thursday.
Under a bright spring sun outside former Remington
Rand building, elected leaders and business
representatives gathered to mark the ceremonial
ground-breaking for the redevelopment project
a few years in the making.
Dubbed the "Remington Lofts on the Canal",
the facility will have 81 work/living lofts,
along with a restaurant, hair salon, dry cleaner
and fitness facility. The project's costs are
now pegged at $20 million.
