Paradise Ventures bought 695 Central in late 2019 and is starting a $2 million renovation of the property. The first floor will be restaurant space for 1 to 3 restaurants and the second story will be office space. The building is in a high profile location next to the Morean Arts Center and very close to the Chihuly Collection. Leasing agent Jake Wollman of KW Commercial indicates that renovations to the 16,000 sq ft property will be complete by early 2023.
