I just do not agree with you on this...

I do not see it as residential at all...

There is no or very little remediation required if it's not residential.

The roof is in fairly good shape. There is not a structural issue that I am aware of. The brick may need a little repointing and the windows reinstalled. Heating may set you back 200k and 200k for plumbing. ( kind of ironic don't you think?) A floor slab needs to be poured. With two or three pumps removed your done. Landscaping is the city's job.

For 2 million dollars it's more than done! It's only 18,000 ft!

Keep the consultants and centre ventures away from it and one of the local landowners will turn it around in 18 months...

Stop tearing these buildings down!

It's really not rocket science.

Your right though it will have to be given away for free and there is not a huge financial windfall. As for financing it, I see it being just done with cash.

Chicago and Melbourne saved their pump houses, why shouldn't we?

In the mean time just put in two or three of the windows back in on James Street and turn on the coloured lights!

I'll donate the bench for the blvd. so people can just sit and look inside! Why are they hiding this great space from the public?

Stop treating it as financial liability and start viewing it as a huge architectural and cultural asset!
