  • December 2014 - "Tentative concepts now call for the one-story warehouse at 509 Ellicott to be revamped into a two-story mixed-use building of up to 36,000 square feet, with some blend of office, retail or residential space. Meanwhile, the remaining four existing buildings, which housed Frey the Wheelman’s retail business, would be demolished, with the site redeveloped into a three-story, 21,000-square-foot office building."
