WESTERLY â The new owner of Wells Block/Marini Building at the intersection of High and Broad streets plans to convert the top two floors into apartments and hopes to have the units available later this year when the weather turns warm.
Jeffrey Grybowski bought the building, which was once home to McCormick s Department Store, in September. The former chief executive officer of Deepwater Wind said he started looking for a property to buy after visiting the downtown area last summer. I walked around and was really struck by how awesome a downtown it is, Grybowski said during a recent interview.
