The big brick building was almost torn down until the city stopped demolition plans and bought the building earlier this year. The Columbia Development Corporation got a $5.6 million loan from the city of Columbia in order to purchase the building to save it from demolition, according to Fred Delk, the director of the Columbia Development Corporation. “I think we’re going to get a lot of different proposals, and they’re going to range from student residential with some commercial to the other extreme of some combinations of lodging, market residential, office uses and commercial uses,” Delk said.
