That's a nice reuse for this building. I wish someone would do something cool with the old Parmalat building down the street.

A 155k sq. ft. big box retailer would fit nicely on the Parmalat site.

There were plans for the Parmalat site, that included a Publix, I believe, before the recession. Neighborhoods were all for it, from what I heard, but the economy intervened. Yeah, a much better location for retail, that site- better access, more traffic for sales, less impact on residences.
