Brownfield Redevelopment Success:

Sherman Perk

Sherman Perk serves coffee and food to residents of the Sherman Park neighborhood.

Formerly a 1930's service station, the building was rehabilitated for use as the coffee shop.

This site was property-tax delinquent for 10 years and the building was boarded-up. Five underground storage tanks were removed during the redevelopment of this property.
