Plans have now been filed and are in review for partial demolition at the former Omni, and notes on the permit provide small clarification on what is being demolished.
The partial demolition permit was applied for on November 2, with a plan acceptance date of December 20.
“This permit is for PARTIAL DEMOLITION – DEMOLITION OF THE JC PENNY IN THE OMNI INTERNATIONAL MALL only,” a comment from a Zoning reviewer on December 26 states.
“Although it is presumed that the majority of demolition here will be retail since this was formerly a JC Penney, please provide an exact breakdown of office vs. retail demolition square footage somewhere in your project data,” a comment from a Planning reviewer on December 28 reads.
Partial demolition of 243,994 square feet is planned, the permit application states, at a total cost estimated at $600,000.
BDI Construction is listed as the contractor.
