Changes A-Brewing?

Ruston's most notable corner has a new owner. Affinity Investments has purchased the building that houses Ruston Galleries and the apartments above. There has not been any progress on the plans to upgrade the adjacent building, although the project was granted a variance that allows a slightly higher height. But the variance has a time limit ~ 2 years from the time of approval. The variance was approved in January 2009.

Perhaps new owners for both these buildings is a good sign that improvements are on the horizon. Sure would be nice!

The Variance has nothing to do with the corner. Remember that the council amended the com-p zone in 50xx and 51xx blocks to 45' as a result of the variance. Lets hope it brings a new energy to Ruston.
The shops around there are look tired.

Ease their pain.

What about that shop on 51st street called Clever? Is it closed now or what?
