RDG Begins Renovation of Old Desert Sands Property

RDG assumed the ownership of a dilapidated property at 208 North Main Street previously known as the "Desert Sands" building.

 


Chip King of MWP, LLC Contractors and Howard Solomon of C. M. Solomon and Sons Excavating have volunteered their services to perform the demolition of the building. MWP, LLC Contractors is a Mechanical, Welding and Piping contractor specializing in heavy commercial and industrial maintenance and construction. C. M. Solomon and Sons Excavating specializes in site construction working locally and in the Research Triangle Park and Raleigh Area. Both companies are locally owned and based out of Roxboro, NC.

 

RDG envisions developing the property as possibly a restaurant with residential condos or other businesses located on the upper floors. The building encompasses approx. 3000 sq ft on each floor with a basement and second level floor with a total possible area of 9000 sq ft. Proposed design reflect possibly two condos at 1350 sq ft each and a restaurant seating approx. 80 - 100 customers.
