Building saved from demolition, for now

For months, there was a land use sign promising big changes at the small brick building on the corner of 24th Ave and 65th St. But the sign disappeared after the owner decided to keep the building.

The owner had plans to demolish the site to clear the way for a 5-story condo development. “But due to the shaky market, he is holding onto it for a few more years,” tipster Elizabeth tells us. Not only is the development shelved, there is a new tenant. Ballard Way Auto Body shop now shares the space with Wolf’s Garage, who moved up from the Fenpro building on Market St.
