Tolles Development Company Acquires AMH Properties Portfolio of Six Office Buildings.

A few months ago, the owner of 675 Holcomb, the 'tin can' building, contacted me letting me know he was adding features to the building to make it more lease-friendly to a cafe/coffee shop/wine bar type of venue. 

It didn't take long apparently to fill the unique building straddling Sinclair and Holcomb, technically on the edge of Midtown and the edge of the Wells Avenue Conservation District, it will bridge the two neighborhoods together with a wine and beer venue called 'The Glass Die'. 

Hub Coffee Roasters has filed for a permit at 316 Vassar Street, changing the use of the property from salon to coffee roaster.
