BEND, Ore. (KTVZ) — While reporting on the growth and gridlock on Bend’s Galveston Avenue corridor, the Problem Solvers learned from the owners of the Bakery Building that major upgrades are planned, including adding a third restaurant space, which includes a back patio. The historic building currently houses Sunriver Brewing and Bosa.
The local family company that owns the building, RSM Investments, says they plan to knock down the duplexes on the back side of the building. The owners plan to create a more inviting back patio for the space that hosts Sunriver Brewing, which will be able to be utilized year-round.

Next door in the Bakery Building, the space that hosts Bosa will also see a refresh of the inside, along with new private restrooms.
The duplexes in the back of Bosa will be knocked down and turned into a new restaurant space on Columbia Street. You can see from the rendering below that they plan to build a covered terrace that can be used year-round.

The owner, Rick Mikesell, tells the Problem Solvers that, unfortunately, Sunriver Brewing will be moving out at the end of the year, due to construction. However, the plan is to work with Bosa to keep them as tenants, as they undergo construction for the private bathrooms. Office space is also planned for the second story.
The Galveston corridor has been at the center of several exclusive Problem Solver reports. The growing neighborhood has seen major parking problems, which have led to missed mail deliveries and prompted neighbors to put up dozens of illegal signs, saying people can’t park outside their neighborhood.
While many people who live and work nearby support the growth and changes, many other neighbors are up in arms, especially when it comes to parking.
