Hiatt Canning Building:
Part of the vacant Thomasville Furniture factory, at 1200 Ivy Avenue, will be renovated into a canning and warehouse operation for Hiatt's Canning Company. The renovation will cost $6 million. Buildings at this site date back to 1926. Yes, this is in downtown's Produce District. An area developers are trying to rename Industry Hill. The last of downtown's operating industrial and warehousing operations are in this area. It's interesting to see an old industrial building in this neighborhood, on the edge of downtown, become a canning factory. Usually, these buildings are renovated to trendy creative or tech offices, breweries/distilleries, retail/restaurants, entertainment venues, or residences.

They are building this around a public parking deck (to hide it) and the deck is still open (arrows on the red fence tell you where to enter the deck):

Though it's built around a public parking deck (parkade), the apartment building only has 172 parking spaces in the deck for the 344 apartments (0.5 spaces per unit). The parking cost extra and isn't included in the rent. If you want it, you have to request it and it must be available. I think they want you to walk, bike (it has a bike repair station, bike lockers for all 344 units, and is near bike share), use the Zipcar across the street, or take transit. Most new downtown apartments are like this.
