For 20 years, the 30 floors of the 400-foot-tall Fiberglas Tower on N. St. Clair Street in downtown Toledo sat empty. Like many of its neighboring buildings, it stood as a monument to what our city used to be. But in the midst of revitalization, the Fiberglas Tower now stands as a tall landmark for downtown’s upswing. The Eyde Co. of Lansing, owner of the building since 1998, announced plans on Friday, October 7 to renovate the building’s top 11 floors for apartment units. Phase 1 of the project, with an estimated cost of $30 million, will create nearly 120 construction jobs.
