Elmwood Hotel Plan Delayed
West Coast Perspective
Eran Epstein has tweaked plans for his project at 504 Washington Street. The number of units in the three-story building has been cut in half to three, but they will be larger and offer greater flexibility to potential buyers. The townhouses will be 5,000 sq.ft. each and allow buyers to occupy the entire space or break it into two units to create an income-producing rental.
Buyers will be able to custom design their interiors. Units will feature spiral staircases, overlooks, skylights, and two indoor parking spots for each unit. Prices are expected to fall into the high $200's to low $300's range according to the developer. These will be the first for-sale condominiums offered downtown since City Centre at 600 Main Street opened ten years ago.

At the corner of Elmwood and Amherst sits Joe's Service Center, the furthest North member of Forever Elmwood and the furthest East member of the Grant/Amherst Business Association (GABA). The service center is, and I quote, "Where blue-blood meets blue collar and Joe College meets Joe Shopper." That is exactly how Mark Kubiniec (right) feels about his co…
