A new proposal for a 29 story condo, apartment and hotel project on the site of the ruins of downtown's most famed department store that tragically burned in 2014 made the news today. This project is intended to start this fall.
And it joins current proposals for a 32 story, 15 story, and 13+ story buildings previously proposed around downtown. Nothing over 12 stories has been built since 2007 and nothing over 300 feet has been built since 1997 in this fine midwest burg, so we're overdue!

And news last week that 1,000+ new jobs are on the way downtown with a company called Cognizant, which is a technology/tech support firm.
