Construction continues on the Big Albion Plan as crews make progress on the restoration and redevelopment of historic buildings along South Superior Street in downtown Albion.
Recent work includes vapor blasting the exterior walls, with crews currently focusing on the storefronts. Demolition of the rear basement wall is also underway, with a new basement wall expected to be poured next week.
Masonry work for the elevator shaft has been completed, and elevator installation is scheduled to begin next week.
Looking ahead, crews expect to complete the rear wall by December, followed by the installation of a new roof in early December. New windows are planned for January or February.
These improvements are part of the ongoing effort to restore nine historic downtown properties located at 101-119 Superior Street and prepare them for 21 residential units and six commercial spaces. Led by Albion Reinvestment Corporation (ARC), the Big Albion Plan aims to bring new housing, business opportunities, and activity to downtown Albion, with the project targeting a fall 2027 opening.
