What is, or more accurately, what was, that old unfinished building located on the Orchard Mesa side of the 5th Street Bridge in Grand Junction?

The structure has been there since the early 80s. What was it going to be? Why wasn't it finished?

According to Wayne Marks, retired firefighter and life-long Grand Junction resident, the structure was going to be a restaurant owned by Grand Junction businessman Dean Van Gundy. The construction began, but was halted due to conflicts with the city.

What is the future of the building? How about the property? Why hasn't it been demolished? If you have any information, please get in touch with me at waylon.jordan@townsquaremedia.com, or call me on the studio line at (970) 243-3699.
