Title: Interior demolition approved at North Core Independent Life Building
Post by: thelakelander on May 27, 2021, 10:53:17 AM
It appears that this project is finally about to get underway:

QuoteThe city issued a permit May 26 for Ronin Contractors LLC to demolish the interior of the Downtown Independent Life Building in the North Core at a cost of $1 million.

Interior demolition includes removing lead and asbestos, nonload-bearing walls and two elevators.

The 19-story building is at 233 W. Duval St. Property records show it was built in 1955.

Ronin Contractors is based in Green Cove Springs.

Seriously JDR?  Already using North Core?  Can't wait for them to include a tag line like North Core: The Desolate Part of Downtown.

^It's typical. It's basically cleaning the place up and preparing it for adaptive reuse.
