As shown in the attached documents, the project has been in development for two years, with several preparatory and structural activities already completed. Now, it is time to make key decisions based on the feasibility study and recent discussions and developments. Due to a more limited budget than initially anticipated, the restaurant planned in the feasibility study will not be included in the short term. Instead, the project will focus on the shared boutique, Café Rando, and workshops, forming a new, sustainable combination. This approach allows the building to reopen sooner while reducing the initial investment by avoiding the need for a fully equipped restaurant kitchen, all while maintaining the project’s core ambitions and impact.
The immediate next step is the creation of an association to co-manage the building, establishing the governance model defined for the project. Once the association is in place, renovation work will begin, paving the way for the opening of the space in the coming months (as outlined in the development plan).
