An Old, Michigan Ave. Building with Potential Shows Signs of Life

Sloopin,

A building across the street from me that has sat uninhabited since I moved here three years ago is showing signs of life. Have you heard any rumblings? It sits just north of a parking lot at the corner of Michigan and Cullerton, east side of the street. It is a beautiful old building that is full of potential.
Thanks!

And here is a recent shot from Saturday with construction scaffolding up:
Does anyone have the skinny on this?
