A revitalization is underway in downtown Warren with new stores opening and more people living in the buildings surrounding Courthouse Square.

Five new condos and a townhouse were recently finished inside the 124 Park Avenue building, which was originally built in 1896.

The condos have a modern and industrial design mixed with the building's original brick. The entrance to the townhouse opens up to a kitchen and large open eating and entertaining space. The bedrooms and living space are located downstairs on the bottom floor.

The Park Avenue condos are the second wave of downtown living spaces developed by Mark Marvin. He started with several units inside the Mahoning building, where only one condo remains unsold at $125,000.

"We've built 10 units so far, nine of which have sold and I would say probably 80 to 85 percent of them are filled with people that are a little bit older, my age and above," said Marvin, with Downtown Development Group.

Now that the condos are finished, Marvin says he's focusing on two big projects for downtown Warren. He's pouring millions into restoring Robins Theatre.

Marvin is also partnering with investors to build a winery overlooking the Mahoning River where the former Scope building is located. He purchased the building and already has a vision for its future customers.

He says the venue will offer wine and serve food.

"We're going to have everything there, they can come in, they can sit in the lounge if they want to sit inside in the winter time, but even in the winter time you can sit in the back and you can still overlook the river," Marvin said.

Nova coffee, a spa, barber, Paint and Pint and Methods Brewery are just some of the new businesses on the square.

Mary McNulty serves up smoothies and healthy lunch options at Beautiful Whirled. She sees a movement underway.

"There's a lot going on and really we just need the support of the community," she said.

Marvin tells 21 News he's eyeing more development on the West Market Street peninsula.

He says the Reeves building needs to become the future site of more upscale living spaces and sees that as an important part of developing the peninsula.
