The former Reptile World building in downtown Drumheller may soon have a new tenant.
Bob Sheddy from Century 21 PowerRealty.ca has confirmed that the Reptile World Building has been sold to an investor from out of Calgary.
The building has sat idle since Reptile World, a popular travel destination, was shut down in early 2015 after its collection of reptiles was seized by the Alberta SPCA. The building was foreclosed and left in disrepair.
The building originally housed the Drumheller Co-op, sits on six lots and has a main floor of over 15,000 square feet, with a full basement.
Sheddy tells The Mail the new owner wishes to clean up and refurbish the building in hopes of finding a large national or regional tenant to occupy.
