Rendering of the Wade Trim building
|
 |
Wade Trim’s Flint office will be the anchor tenant of a new office complex to
be built in downtown Flint next year. The building will be named after Wade Trim in
honor of our commitment to downtown Flint’s renewal efforts. The complex is part of a
five-building redevelopment of the entire Mott Block on South Saginaw Street. Located
in the middle of the block, the Wade Trim building will provide 8,500 square feet of
office space on the second floor for our staff. The ground floor will feature space for
five entertainment-oriented restaurants or retailers and four, loft apartments will be
on the top floor.
Funding for the $8 million makeover is coming, in part, from the Charles Stewart Mott
Foundation through $4.2 million in grants to the Foundation for the Uptown Redevelopment
Corporation. The redevelopment is a joint effort between Uptown Reinvestments, Uptown
Developments, Uptown Six, and Baker College of Flint. Demolition of three deteriorated
buildings to clear the site for construction is expected to begin soon and two other
nearby buildings will be renovated.
