Really excellent if this is truly going to be some much-needed affordable units on the North Loop.

Glad to see the under used building being put back to good use. Not to mention that getting some exterior work and landscaping will sure help that section of 4th street.

If you look closely, the brick repair work that they'll be doing is pretty staggering.

No kidding!

I wonder what the guys responsible for the demolition of the Metropolitan would think if they were able to see the effort and expense people are willing to put into this rather homely building.

I hope so too. Isn't there a guideline in the warehouse district historic preservation documentation to maintain ghost signs?

It looks like the graffiti "artists" already have helped in painting over some of them.

The white paint pictured above has been on that facade of the building for a while. See older photos in this thread or older Streetview images. They were actively working on that area when I took the photo. Not sure if they were trying to remove the white stuff or what.

Walking by the other day I looks like they were able to get some of the white paint off with out destroying the ghost signs underneath. Glad to see this project also finally getting some where. It has been a long time coming.
