The State and Main Podcast | Episode 8 W/ Kyle Shirley (1010 State Street)

From a construction standpoint, there is a full kitchen here.

There's a grease trap here.

There are some bathrooms here that hang some mirrors and do some other things.

There's some work left to be done, but this is a restaurant space.

Absolutely.

It can get there pretty quickly with the right

tenant.

What do you see this as? How do you see this piece of downtown affecting the rest of downtown? Because I see this as kind of being the connecting point between Western and downtown and the nightlife and this being more of the afternoon and the evening dinners and the family type atmosphere.

Absolutely.

I think it connects both of them because you have the hill just right up here at the top.

The students could walk down.

It could be a student area.

It could be a multipurpose area for lawyers and some of that when they want to, after hours, kind of a a social gathering place.

Cause you have so much space in here.

Uh, you can spread out.

Uh, they were discussing at one point having like a little, uh, event area.

And, uh, then of course they would discuss and put games in the backside too.

So, uh, it was a well-connected piece.

And like you were saying, you're connecting Western with downtown, uh, And I think it's a good place for both of them to collide.

And with your Airbnbs all around, we've got the other building over here, 511, that has 13 Airbnbs in it.

So you have those out-of-town people, whether it be traveling nurses or traveling business people, contractors.

It's so close that I could see everybody down here coming together and colliding and having a great social space.
