I very randomly stumbled across this great case study which comes to us from Canada. Thought it would be an interesting read since we have our own parcel of distillery in Tumwater whose future is still up in the air. In all, the city worked with developers to keep the historic look and feel of the buildings, which sat on a 2.7 acre parcel. The developers were given several incentives, including reduced impact fees, etc... to keep costs down. In total, over 200 units were created. The avg selling price was initially between $150 to $216K, with 95% of units sold within 3 years. Here's the document:

On the topic though, sort of reminds me of McMenamins model, without the beer or murals. Using what is there and all that stuff.
This is awesome...
Submitted by oldtimeydave on Mon, 08/04/2008 - 9:50am.I really wish folks could get together and come up with a solution to our historic buildings like the old brewery. It really is a community treasure.
Not to nit pick or anything but did you mean distillery or brewery? They are 2 different things, distilling does have a brewing stage however brewing does not involve distillation. The reason I ask is that I'm not aware of any distilling happening there and you may know something I don't. Has there been ??? That would be cool if there was.
Maybe someone should distill there with our new relaxed distillation laws... that may not be subject to the non-compete on brewing that is tied into the sale of the property.
Thanks for posting
