The curved assembly line anchored into the ceiling is still intact. Eventually, it could become an industrial curiosity in someone’s apartment. In the meantime, construction workers are busy transforming the industrial building into residential space.
When completed, there will be 21 to 22 apartments. Developers plan to make use of the ceiling height by adding upper levels in some units with transom windows allowing natural light to filter in from the old storefront windows that surround the building. While people may remember the St. Andrews Market that operated from 2013 to 2015, on paper the project is being called the Ford Malone project.
It sat empty until about two years ago when three developers – now working as Dothan 193 St. Andrews LLC – decided to take a chance on it with a nearly $5-million investment. Along with Castillo, the partners include the owner of Hernandez Consulting Construction, which is the general contractor on the project.
Castillo said developers have to update a rent study they did back in 2020, but original plans were for one-bedroom apartments to be between $800 and $950. Rent rates will be on-par with the recently opened Flats at Midtown Place located at West Main Street and Cherokee Avenue, Castillo said.What the apartment complex will eventually be called is still being decided – there’s been talk of just calling it after its street address number, the 1-9-3.
