It has been proposed that a City purchase of the Macri land on South Bend Avenue could involve a land swap, and the Oliver Industrial Park was identified as a property that Macri would be interested in acquiring.

The desired tenant mix includes showroom, warehouse, and office space for businesses conducting contractor supply and distribution operations. The building will be faced with brick, and will include traditional brick detailing such as corbelling, coining, and arching that mimic the design elements of the former Oliver Boilerhouse located across the street from this site. The building will face Chapin Street and contain a courtyard and brick tower element near the southeast corner of the building. The building will contain office space on a second floor, with windows of those offices facing the site's street frontage. 14 Redevelopment Commission on Meeting Rescheduled Regular Meeting — October 22, 2004 6.

The site plan contains adequate parking and loading accommodations for a structure of this size, with patron and employee parking areas separated on the east and west sides of the building, respectively. The estimated cost of the building is $3,000,000, or almost $86 /square foot. The developer will seek to reach agreements with tenants over the next year, and proposes to begin construction in 2006. This timing will allow the company to focus on relocating their current tenant on the South Bend Avenue site (Sears) to a new facility to be constructed in 2005. This development will contribute significantly to the character and appeal of the Oliver Industrial Park. The development would meet the desired goals laid forth in the Sample -Ewing Development Plan and the Studebaker /Oliver Plow Works Redevelopment Strategy. The focus given to the aesthetic appearance of the building by the developer and architect is tremendous, and staff feels that this development will add a second "anchor" development to the industrial park, following the example of Rose Brick & Materials, Inc.
