Downtown Update

Here is the former Mirons Furniture warehouse, now with 12 apartments over ground floor commercial space. Decorations in front windows indicate some apartments are already occupied. Congratulations to developer Frank Cretella!

Here is how the building looked in 2010:


Cretella has completed renovations of two Park Avenue buildings and one on East Fourth Street.

Still in progress is this conversion replacement of the former Romond's Garage to by a five-story mixed-use building with 20 apartments on East Second Street.

This is the building in 2014.

On the to-do list is the largest development, 148 apartments and commercial space on West Second Street.

In all, Cretella has 11 projects in various stages downtown. A busy man!

    1. True! The original plan was to build on top of it, but it was in fact leveled.
