The parking deck and storm water drains above the Market Square building have deteriorated causing a significant amount of water to leak into the building damaging the building's insulation and contributing to a harmful amount of mold growth.
The Market Square project will provide for the rehabilitation of 50 storm water drains, removal of the current parking deck coating and application of new coating, wall waterproofing, renovation of the building's damaged interior and removal of mold.
The mold in the Market Square building was deemed substantially harmful to occupants and was remediated on May 1, 2020 since the building had been vacated due to the City's COVID-19 response. Given the current vacancy of the Market Square building, City staff with emergency approval of Executive Management, authorized work with Amstar, Inc. to begin improvements to the Market Square plaza building to prevent future water damage and continued growth of the dangerous mold. Construction began in May 2020 and is estimated to be completed by August 2020.
