... And One Comes Down!

This week, the final remnants of the Europa Building will be demolished. This building was built in the early 1970s and housed the travel agency for three decades at the corner of East 185th Street and Neff Road. The building was deconstructed in hopes that it will find a new home. Rumours have the building being reconstructed as near by as Madison or as far away as California. Regardless, this interesting structure will rise again, but where has yet to be determined.

With the site cleared, construction crews will being immediately building a state-of-the-art Key Bank building. This new branch will replace their existing East 185th Street site and will have some incredible amenities. Northeast Shores staff had the privilege to view a prototype for the new branch and we were incredibly impressed. The plans are for the new branch to open in early January, 2009. We want to thank Key Bank in advance for their significant neighborhood investment that this new building represents.
