Bailey Building Redevelopment Underway in Lakewood
preservation works for our downtowns!
Construction began October 26, 2009 on an
ambition rehabilitation of the Bailey
Building, located in downtown Lakewood. Using
a 126-ton crane, crews have been
systematically removing 16,000-pound concrete
panels to restore the classic brick and stone
building's original fa�ade, which was
completed in 1930. In the 1960s the building
was radically modified when the concrete
panels were put in place and since then the
corner that the Bailey Building occupies -
Warren and Detroit, the busiest in the city -
was dark and uninviting. Building owners
Kowit & Passov, Then Design Architects, and
the City of Lakewood have been working
together since January to develop a
rehabilitation and development strategy to
energize this important and under-used
corner. The proposed renovation was approved
by the city's Architectural Board of Review
in August. At the urging of the Department of
Planning and Development, and incentivized
through a loan from the City's Economic
Development Fund, the building is going to be
restored to its original 1930s grandeur on
the exterior. Significant interior
improvements will provide updated office
space to compliment the new retail and other
development that has recently taken place in
the city's downtown. The Bailey Building
project is a great success for Lakewood.
