Buddy Gadams To Take On Union Mission

Just when we thought it was game over for the Union Mission, Buddy Gadams sweeps in to make the save.  According The Pilot, the infamous Norfolk developer just signed a contract on the downtown landmark.

Gadams plans to transform the building into 90 luxury apartments and build a five-story building on parking lot to the rear that would add an additional 46 apartments.  Before the deal closes, Gadam's company, Marathon Development, must complete inspections and surveys.  If all goes according to plan, construction could begin in April.

Gadams has redeemed himself since Granby Tower, with the recent construction of 4 residential properties downtown.  I recently had the chance to tour the Wainwright and came away very impressed.  This is very positive news for the Union Mission building.
