Description
The former Rock Revival Center building on North Warner Street may look like an abandoned church building, but for the Cains, they see potential.
"I'm excited," said Julie Cain, the building’s co-owner. “We love the layout, we love the space. It's going to be really fun."
The couple bought the building three years ago, and plan to convert the space into affordable housing for Tacoma, something the city badly needs.
The building is slated to hold at least 30 residents, but the Cains are focusing this new project on a specific demographic: people 18 to 26 years old.
The Cains said they're working on a similar young adult housing facility at a former church in Port Orchard, scheduled to open this September. The couple said the building needs extensive renovations to bring it up to code, but they're hoping to open the doors by next summer.
