Baker Furniture
December 21, 2004
The Holland Sentinel printed an exciting article today about the possible future of the Baker Furniture building. Hopefully tomorrow’s Sentinel has more information about the project, since this article was a preview for tonight’s Brownfield Redevelopment Board meeting. But, here’s a taste of what the project involves:
A Holland city board will hear a plan today for converting the former Baker Furniture building into a residential and commercial development that would include loft-style condominiums, a restaurant, health club and a salon.
This possible project really makes me happy. Holland is definately heading in the right direction when it comes to planning. Adaptive reuse, mixed uses, near transit. Yay!
I’m slightly confused by the “condo” designation, but then the mention of $800 rent for a two-bedroom unit. Condos are by definition owner-occupied, so paying rent on one would seem contradictory.
If I do look for a job back in Holland, and get hired by someone, I will definately look at a condo in this development. Loft-style living seems pretty dang cool, and I can’t think of a better place to live. Oh, and I just thought of something: I might be able to get a room with a view of the train tracks. Hehe.
