Historic downtown Brewery building planned for office and apartment redo

The 100-plus-year-old building in the West End district will instead be rebuilt as part of a high-rise apartment and office project.

Provident Realty Advisors, which bought the Brewery in 2013, plans to add two floors of office space on top of the four-story existing structure. It will construct an apartment tower and parking garage on the west side.

"We are planning a 15-story apartment building in the parking lot and replace the surface parking in the new parking garage," Backes said. "We will have a courtyard between the Brewery and the new apartments."

Provident is hoping to catch the wave of development of creative office space that's spreading in the West End.
