Since renovations began on the historic Malone Motor Company building, the developers have had to deal with their share of setbacks.
The most recent was a brick thrown through one of the building’s large double-paned windows. It happened on a weekend when workers were not on site. A witness said a man threw a brick at the window – twice – and then ran away. The brick punched a hole in the exterior pane but not the window’s interior pane.“We’re tallying up, just in glass alone, $40,000,” Castillo said.
People are also reading… The concept behind the Ford Malone project is a unique apartment lifestyle in a historic building. A main entrance leads into a series of one-, two- and three-bedroom units ranging in square footages that go up to 2,200 square feet. There are plans for communal spaces for tenants to use – a garden and even a reading nook inside the large safe once used by Malone Motors.
The development certainly fits into the City of Dothan’s efforts to create a downtown where people can live, work and play. The City Center project, a downtown entertainment district, and the creation of the 84 East Corridor overlay district all reflect the city’s hopes for downtown. Castillo believes that some of the people trespassing and causing damage to the Malone building are either transient or homeless people living downtown. Castillo said until the root problem is addressed, problems may continue for developers like him trying to renovate a building that sat empty for years.
“I have to believe that as we continue to do more work and there’s more growth in the downtown area and there’s more lighting and more people, less of the vandalism occurs,” Saliba said. “… I see that as a trend that is less not more as more people are in the downtown area that are shopping and living and eating on a day to day basis. I don’t see that as something that gets worse; I think that just gets better with time.
