Midtown beverage retail building to be expanded

The Church Street building home to alcoholic beverage retail power Midtown Corkdorks is slated for a façade update, with the project part of a bigger-picture effort that eventually will include a new structure at the property. 

Specifically, the building at 1610 Church St. will have some space added to the areas positioned both to the left and right of its main entrance. Paul Patel, Midtown Corkdorks owner, said the project is being undertaken in relation to a future building to be located to the left of the main structure and on which a deteriorating building had sat until being razed this past March. He said the final design of the façade extensions (the existing building will be increased by about 1,800 square feet) will be determined “by what we plan for the adjacent lot.” Both those designs should be finalized within the next few days.
