This is the large warehouse immediately northeast of the Hot Shops Art Center. They have put in some unusually nice landscaping along the street. Does Hot Shops own this building? Anyone know what the use is/will be?
The Ashton Building changed hands in 2003 for around $1M. I can't recall who the owner is, but I'm certain that it is not Hot Shops. As for the use I don't know if the current owner has any redevelopment plans. I think that certain portions of the building are leased for storage and artist use.
If you look closely the building is actually three different warehouses, built at different times that adjoin one another.
There is also a sizeable parking lot behind the building that was included in the sale.
