Construction wraps up on 849 Penniman Ave. in downtown Plymouth

The easy part, finishing construction on the 849 Penniman Ave project in downtown Plymouth, is done.

That just leaves the hard part of filling it up. Well, hard in Metro Detroit's competitive economy.

The three-story, mixed-use building has one condo left for sale and its ground floor retail space available for lease. The second floor office space has been leased and the third floor condo of the brick building has been sold. Crucial Contact, a text-messaging company, has moved into the 1,900 square foot office space on the second floor. The company translates text messages sent into TV shows, such as voting for American Idol.

The remaining condo has 900 square feet of space, one bedroom, 1.5 bathrooms, a terrace balcony, hardwood floors, granite countertops and stainless steel appliances. It is priced at $179,000. Parking for it is available through a city parking deck behind the building.

The new building replaces an older wooden building that once housed Plymouth Office Supply and is headed up by Roseville-base Ferlito Construction.
