The 34-year-old real estate agent was not sure what he would make out of the building when he bought it for $100k in 2019
The challenge took the three men 3 years to complete, but they persevered in the endeavour to take a stand and to “stop demolishing old buildings.” Hence their interest in this particular passion project, a transformation that still pays homage to its historical significance, the outcome of which is inspiring, to say the least.
After considering various ideas, the two men came to the agreement to turn the building into a residential house
