The property was formerly owned by <strong>The Resource Center<\/strong>\u00a0before being purchased in November 2021 by <strong>Rahsaan Graham<\/strong> under <strong>Jade Empire LLC<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Cooke said the first floor will be retail and mixed use space, &#8220;..with a cafe in the back corner. This office level here on the second floor will be a WeWork kind of model, which is small offices for start-up businesses. The third floor will be three apartments there used for a mix of short-term and long-term rentals.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Cooke said an elevator and ramp entry will be added to the back of the building for accessibility. He said Jade Empire is the developer of the project and that they have already worked with the <strong>New York State Historic Preservation Office<\/strong> to find information on the building which was built in the 1880s.<\/p>\n<p>Shawbucks owner <strong>Kurt Johnson<\/strong> provided an update on his project to renovate the existing restaurant and bar.<\/p>\n<p>Johnson said he was approved to purchase a 25-foot sidewalk owned by the city in August 2021 so that he could build a three-story balcony on the West Second Street side of the building, &#8220;Phase one is moving the bathrooms to the back of the building so that the front of the building is visible. We&#8217;ll be leaving eight feet of sidewalk on the front and the sides of the building, which is more space between the buildings than the ones around us. So, right now we&#8217;ve started relocating the bathrooms into the back of the building. We&#8217;ve got our permit, our first inspection.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Johnson also plans to build an elevator to increase access to all floors of the building. He said the second floor will include event space, restrooms, and a second kitchen. Johnson added that a future phase of the project would be to turn the rooftop into a green space.<\/p>\n<p>Both projects will likely come back before the Planning Commission in June for site plan approval.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Jamestown Planning Commission received an update on the Shawbucks and Prendergast Landing projects at their monthly meeting.
