\t\t\t\t\"Control<\/a>Forest City recently announced that they are set to begin taking bids and applications for space in the old control tower<\/a> which has remained vacant since the beginning of Stapleton development. \u201cIt\u2019s been over a decade now, so we should probably figure out what we are going to do with it,\u201d said Forest City President Phil Dargossi. \u201cI made a promise to myself that if an Eastbridge grocer was ever inked, I would make the tower my top priority. I never thought it would happen, but here we are.\u201d\n\nDargossi says there is no timetable, and only very rough sketches of what the tower could look like. \u201cThe architect\u2019s renderings are more for fun than anything else,\u201d said Dargossi. \u201cWithout knowing the types of businesses that would move in there, it is way too early to predict what the design will be like. Plus, we never end up having things look like the original concepts<\/a>. Dargossi says that the tower could be used for retail, offices, a restaurant, and possibly even a fitness facility. \u201cWhen I see that that tower, it seems to me someone could make a hell of a climbing wall out of that,\u201d said Dargossi. \u201cSo, that\u2019s one thing I am pushing for. I just need to get a better understanding of how attractive nuisance laws work. On the other hand, we have never been sued over that dangerous fountain<\/a>.\u201d\nResidents are hoping a restaurant ends up getting space in the tower area. \u201cThere are a lot of cool things you could do with a restaurant or bar there,\u201d said resident Adam McCoy. \u201cIf there was a way to have a beer in a fun atmosphere at the top of that tower, it would be pretty cool. Now, my guess is that would be about a $45 beer for what it is going to cost to renovate that place.\u201d Dargossi says that they are willing to work with new retailers the same way they have been willing to work with their current retailers. \u201cWe have a strong history of working with our retailers,\u201d said Dargossi. \u201cWe tell the retailers what they owe us, and they pay it. If not, they are out. It is really simple, and has worked very well, and our retailers appreciate it.\u201d As of now, no companies have come in with a serious proposal, but Dargossi has had some calls from interested parties. \u201cIt is way too early in the process, but we are getting serious consideration from a company that, well, let\u2019s just say will make your automobiles cleaner<\/a>.\u201d\n]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
