A pressroom sitting below street level would be renovated into a restaurant, while parts of the first floor could house retail space. The second and third floors could be transformed into office space. The building has been empty for almost a year since the Register and Gannett moved to Capital Square, and the renovation would be complete in late 2015 if the deal goes through.
