CJ Kaiser, owner of the former Bill's Hamburgers Building in Downtown Wheeling is redeveloping the building into apartments and retail. The building, which dates back to before the Civil War (1855), is located on
Main Street in between the Capitol Theater and 10th Street Bridge. The first floor will be home to J. Jones Evening Wear, a formal attire shop. The upper two floors will house several luxury apartment units. The building has been abandoned since Bill's Hamburgers shut down in 1995 - Kaiser purchased it in 2005 for $18,000. The building had been condemned, but he was luckily able to save it. He hopes it will fit in with the many other apartment projects Downtown, most notably the Stone Center Lofts, which are across the street.

Also, I am considering making this thread for development in Wheeling and the whole Upper Ohio Valley Region (Steubenville, Weirton, East Liverpool, ect.) I feel like they are too small to make seperate threads for, but there are some pretty neat projects happening in other Valley towns.
Thoughts?
