As part of an interview for a Soapbox story last week, Jared Wayne of Bloomfield/Schon + Partners was nice enough to give me a tour of the American Can building in Northside.
The building is part of the Factory Square project, which will house 96 market-rate loft apartments and 27,000 square feet of retail/office space.
The windowless structure is fairly clean - if not watertight - an has an assortment of old machine tools that the developers plan to incorporate into the units as furniture and art.
As you can see, it has been hit pretty hard by taggers and there is evidence of some of the concrete remediation work that's being done.
