Extreme Makeover: Ye Ol' Selkirk Building
If Extreme Makeover had an office building edition this would be it. The former Selkirk Building (506 W. 2nd) and the adjoining parcel sold last year for the tidy sum of $770K. The new owners, Sun Devil Development, look to be dropping some change to spruce the place up. The reconfiguration will mean two retail condos, four office condos, and a basement space. The upside: The 13,000sqf building is losing the fancy sheet metal, revealing the transoms, cleaning up that brick, adding a new side entry, and throwing in some nice awnings. The downside: That side entry will front on the ample new surface parking for 32 (There's a parking shortage downtown, remember?). Eh, can't have it all. BUS DRIVER - MOVE THAT BUS!!!

That's a nice improvement to that building.
It would make a great spot for a restaurant or coffeehouse.
During the warm months there could also be some outdoor seating along the sidewalk.
