A major rehab is planned for a longstanding commercial building at 1519 Wyandotte St. E. in the heart of the burgeoning Olde Walkerville business district. The developer is Philip Duym of Adhoc Dvlp. Corp. The property, which used to be the Tivoli Pool Room and Casa Loma Restaurant, is already being marketed by Britni Goulet of Re/Max Preferred touting it as “beautifully restored” and where “hip Walkerville begins.” Duym is described as an “established Walkerville property owner” who is transforming the interior and exterior to a “Detroit-style urban vibe.” The plan goes before the city’s development committee early next month and construction is expected to start in late spring. Spaces are available from 1000 to 9000 sq. ft. over two floors, starting at $17/sq. ft. Some 3000 of the total 12,000 sq. ft. is already rented. Specifically, Duym wants to create spaces for a bakery alongside Gladstone Ave. and financial services along Wyandotte St. The remaining area would be for “future use” according to a city planning report. The key is tax incentives, which planners recommend as the improvements would enhance “the revitalization of the existing Walkerville Main Street area and the protection of a significant built heritage resource listed on Windsor’s Municipal Heritage Register.” “Heritage appropriate materials” would be used including brick “consistent with the Walkerville Colour Palette.” Black fabric awnings would be installed. An existing south side mural would be refurbished and an additional mural added on the east side. A total of almost $145,000 in tax increment financing and “main streets" façade improvement grants is being recommended.
