A few readers sent us emails wondering about all the work going on at the Canal Building along North 34th. We stopped by today and noticed crews doing interior renovations to 710 N 34th, the space formerly occupied by Pontevecchio. We don’t have any exciting news about a possible new tenant, but we did get the scoop on the reason for all the work.
A representative for Real Retail, which provides tenant services for the building, tells us the Canal Building is undergoing some upgrades to make it more attractive for future occupants. Right now, the work inside 710 N 34th involves installing an elevator to the upper levels of the building. The second floor offices are also being renovated to give them more character. While there are no new permanent tenants to announce yet, Halloween Express has opened in the building temporarily.
