The city issued a permit March 9 for Realco Recycling Co. Inc. to remove interior finishes at the proposed Lofts at Cathedral Downtown at 325 E. Duval St., but there are no immediate plans to start the work.
It’s a step toward Vestcor Inc.’s plan to turn the former Community Connections building into a multifamily project.
The permit application involves the “removal of interior finish systems to reveal structure for future design for building remodel for future use.”
Realco Recycling is the contractor for the $198,000 project involving 37,000 square feet of space.
Ryan Hoover, president of Vestcor’s TVC Development Inc., said previously that the interior demolition would provide “a better idea of what we are working with on the inside for design.”
