New Owner of Bernsteins

Though you wouldn't notice it to look at him, Brandon Nimigon has the weight of more than 100 years resting on his shoulders. He's the new owner of Bernsteins – a building that has stood for more than a century and has a storied past, to say the least.Nimigon purchased the building that previously housed Bernstein's, but it's had a number of other identities; including a deli, a grocery store and a clothing store. Nimigon, a Century 21 broker, heard the building would be going on the market and jumped at the chance to put an offer in. The Century 21 office will move to the new space, and will be joined by two other offices and two apartments upstairs. Nimigon has big plans for the place and knows the importance of preserving its legacy while giving it a much-needed makeover.One of the most remarkable things is that the renovation project is employing a variety of local firms to get the work done, from design, to drawings, demo and construction. Nimigon says with his contacts, it was easy to build a dream team to re-imagine the space and put money back into the local community.
