Project Journal

October Update


Current Focus:

  • Adjustment of project scope and timeline due to additional work approval

Adjustments & Project Pivots:

  • The slab removal and replacement were proposed by Falcon after seeing the wide-open space, and the unevenness of the surface. This was fine for a garage but not retail. 
  • Falcon suggested removing and replacing being sensitive to the budget adjustment needed to accomplish this. The owners, architect and interior designer were on board with this change.
  • We’ve just updated the construction schedule based on the time we were on hold, the pricing we needed to complete, and rescheduling the trades.

Coming Next:

  • Finalization of Demolition
  • New renderings of changed scope items

Project History

A Building with a Story


Dating back to approximately 1928, 12 Brevard has worn many hats over the past century. From an automotive repair garage and hosiery manufacturing facility to Petroleum Pump and Tank Company and longtime occupant Asheville Powertrain, the building has evolved alongside Asheville’s changing commercial landscape.

And then there’s the local lore. According to a story passed down by a former occupant, the garage once served as a stop for moonshine runners who reportedly had their cars repainted to avoid recognition by law enforcement.

Over the decades, the building itself has changed shape, with additions and modifications reflecting its many uses. Today, another chapter in its history is taking shape.
