    I’ve heard that leaving one wall up like this classifies a construction project as a renovation. I’m guessing this was done because it was cheaper or it’s in a historic district? Idk

      I’ve heard the same. If a property is ‘renovated’, it retains the same value, tax wise, no matter how much larger the renovated building is.

      Not sure how this plays out with a formerly tax exempt property like a church once it get converted into a non-tax exempt property such as a residential apartment building.

    Seems to be in North America (license plate dimensions) so they probably did that to maximize the number of apartments while still keeping as much of the church as possible (without necessarily being required to as it is in the UK), would have looked better with another type of siding though…
