Opportunity to buy an old bank
3 December 2024 | 5 replies
I think there are two maybe 3 ways to look at this in my mind. 1) you go into it and bring it all up to modern standards but using that old charm to basically take what is there bring it up to modern standards and rent it out essentially I'm thinking cocktail bar or something trendy like that.2) most banks are on really good centrally located real estate if this is true, then I'd consider it for the dirt, plan to scrape the lot and go vertical with whatever the highest and best use is.3) a kind of combo of the two, if the lot is in a good location and its doable, pull the vaults or other "character pieces" out of the building, scrape the lot, and build whatever is best suited for the site there, but incorporate those historical pieces into the final designs.Is the site near a major retail area?

"Sizing up"= determining HOW FAR a Fire Chief and/or the local building/planning department of the jurisdiction your cabin is in can/will go is both a science and an art, IMO.* This could be a standard issue type thing and if u do nothing, nothing will happen or it could end up being your worse nightmare.
