The ArtSpace RP Building was renovated in 1999-2000 to create a mix of retail stores, art studios and artist live/work spaces and was the first building on the block to initiate major renovation. In the last 17 years, the neighborhood has had extensive investment from other developers and businesses in the area making Morse and Glenwood a vibrant shopping and entertainment area. The two story building has had major masonry work, new windows and storefronts, HVAC systems, new plumbing and electrical work, and 60% of the units have been gutted and rebuilt, and trying to maintain the urban 1920's architectual esthetic.
