At least that's was I was told when a similar project went on on my block where a rickety old building with no especial aspects was completely gut renovated, which took ages and was a giant pain in the ass to do, it seemed obvious that it would have been easier, cheaper, faster to just knock it down and put up something new, plus instead of the old 120 year old heavy timber framing you would have nice modern steel. When I asked the foreman on the job he said it had to do with the permitting process. Not sure he knew what he was talking about, but anyway.moehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17231055609852347970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-52805545279189075412014-10-06T08:44:09.639-04:002014-10-06T08:44:09.639-04:00I cannot believe this building or what's left ...I cannot believe this building or what's left of it is worth the trouble of saving. It leans, is not supported on either side and to engineer a structure to withstand the weight of additional floors seems like a true waste of money. I'm curious of the what the facade will look like once or if the drawings are made public. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
