Downtown building receiving makeover
A downtown apartment building, across from Gateway Mall, is receiving a second lease on life.
The James Nisbet building at 80 13th St. W, has been boarded up for months. On Wednesday, paNOW was able to reach the Alberta owners by phone who confirmed the building is being gutted and the plans are to reopen. June Nguyen explained options include the possibility of a student residency, or a home care facility.
“We haven’t decided yet. We have to clean up inside first,” she said.
Carolyn Carleton, executive director of the Prince Albert Downtown Improvement District, told paNOW she was unaware of Nguyen’s plans.
